It is designed to support research, teaching and clinical work.

The information contained in this site has been provided with generosity by experts in their field. They have checked it with colleagues, and carefully proofread the pages before publication. To the best of their knowledge, the information is up to date, fair and accurate.

To the extent permissible under applicable laws, no responsibility is assumed and is hereby disclaimed by Cambridge University Press or the Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies for any injury and/or damage to persons or property as a result of any actual or alleged libellous statements, infringements of intellectual property or privacy rights, or product liability, whether resulting from negligence or otherwise, or from any use or operation of any ideas, instructions, procedures, products or methods contained in the material therein.

You should always assume that everything on the web is copyrighted and 'belongs' to the author(s) and publishers. If Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine hyperlinks to information on other sites, it does not mean that the information is connected in any way to Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine.

Copyright, use and re-use

In general: All created work has copyright that belongs to the original authors/artists;

Transferred copyright: Most published material (including Internet resources) also has transferred copyright belonging to the publishers; for all published work, it is therefore best to assume you should ask both the original authors and the publishers for permission to (re)use information and always credit the authors and source of the information.

Please respect the intellectual property of authors and the development costs of publishers.

Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine does not want to restrict, unnecessarily, the use of resources it has helped its generous authors to develop. The authors of Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine have provided new, previously unpublished information for the resource.

If there is no copyright sign, then you are free to re-use the resources for non-profit use, as long as you do not infringe the author's rights. If you are unsure whether you can use or re-use articles or their parts, please contact:

or The Editors (or at the address below) for further information.

If there is a copyright sign on the resources you wish to re-use, please see the notes below.
Since January 1999, this journal is published by Cambridge University Press in association with the Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies. The new copyright information is published below and applies to articles and resources that have a copyright sign on them.

Copyright of articles and features with: © Expert Reviews in Molecular Medicine

1. The journal's policy is to acquire copyright in all contributions. There are two reasons for this: (a) ownership of copyright by one central organisation tends to ensure maximum international protection against unauthorised use; (b) it also ensures that requests by third parties to reprint or reproduce a contribution, or part of it, are handled efficiently and in accordance with a general policy that is sensitive both to any relevant changes in international copyright legislation and to the general desirability of encouraging the dissemination of knowledge.

2. Two ‘moral rights’ were conferred on authors by the UK Copyright Act in 1988. In the UK, an author’s ‘right of paternity’, the right to be properly credited whenever the work is published (or performed or broadcast), requires that this right is asserted in writing.

3. All contributors retain the right to reproduce their paper for their own purposes, provided no sale is involved, and to reprint their paper in any volume of which they are editor or author. Permission will automatically be given to the publisher of such a volume, subject to normal acknowledgement.

4. Cambridge University Press shall use their best endeavours to ensure that any direct request to reprint a contribution, or a substantial part of it, in another publication is approved by the signing author before permission is given.

5. Cambridge University Press co-operates in various licensing schemes that allow institutions to photocopy material within agreed restraints (e.g. the CCC in the USA and the CLA in the UK). Any proceeds received from such licenses, together with any proceeds from sales of subsidiary rights in the Journal, directly support the continuing publication.

6. It is understood that in some cases copyright will be held by the contributor’s employer. If so, Cambridge University Press requires non-exclusive permission to deal with requests from third parties, on the understanding that any requests it receives from third parties will be handled in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 above (note that the approval of the authors and not that of their employer will be sought for the proposed use).

7. Permission to include material not in the copyright of the contributor. If an author’s contribution includes textual or illustrative material not in their copyright and not covered by fair use or fair dealing, permission must be obtained from the relevant publisher for the non-exclusive right to reproduce the material worldwide in all forms and media, including electronic publication. The relevant permission correspondence should be forwarded to the editorial office.

If in doubt about whether or not permission is required, please consult: The Editors or The Permissions Controller, Cambridge University Press, The Edinburgh Building, Shaftesbury Road, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK. Fax: +44(0) 1223 315 052; e-mail: lnicol@cambridge.org
