Exocrinology
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-97551-7 (ISBN)
This is the first textbook solely dedicated to the study of exocrine glands and cells throughout the human body. Students will gain a broad overview of the whole exocrine system, it's structural features and learn to understand it's integral parts in almost all bodily functions.
Taking a systemic approach, the author guides readers through the different organ sites, shapes, methods of secretion and their secretory products. Starting with the glands of the integument, which is covering the outside of the body, the chapters proceed to also discuss the urinary tract, respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems. Various levels of complexity, from single goblet cells to the major organs, are thoroughly explained.
A basic knowledge in histology is advantageous, for the numerous and rich illustrations. With its inviting writing style, this textbook is a perfect learning tool for students in Physiology and Medicine - particularly considering Dentistry, Dermatology, Gastroenterology and Pulmonology.

Of importance, he discovered the Proline Rich Protein p1978 which inhibits the growth of triple negative breast cancer. His research has received worldwide attention, and has established Dr. Streckfus as a leader in cancer and exocrinological research. Dr. Streckfus received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Johns Hopkins University in 1969, and his Master of Arts degree in Psycho/biology from Towson State University in 1973. In 1978 he received his dental degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. Dr. Streckfus has held several research positions including Assistant Dean of Research and Graduate Programs, University of Mississippi Medical Center, 1998 - 2005; and professorships in Diagnostic Sciences, Anatomy, Graduate Programs, Clinical Research, and Clinical Investigations.
