Prevention of Allergy and Allergic Asthma (Chemical Immunology and Allergy)

Karger, 2004

In the western world, the prevalence of allergy and asthma has increased two- to threefold over the last 40 years and has reached epidemic proportions. This book represents the first complete document containing recommendations on the prevention of allergy and allergic asthma based on the current understanding of the immunological mechanisms...

Spirulina in Human Nutrition and Health

CRC Press, 2007

Astonishingly rich in nutrients, Spirulina is one of the most popular and well researched functional foods in the multi-billion dollar global food supplement market. This ancient species provides readily bioavailable protein along with carotenoids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals and has therapeutic applications in...

Apoptosis And Its Relevance to Autoimmunity (Current Directions in Autoimmunity)

Karger, 2005

Over the last 15 years, apoptosis has become a dominant focus of medical research in the field of immunology. This publication discusses the three major areas of apoptosis research: extrinsic death receptor pathways, intrinsic cell death pathways and the mechanisms responsible for apoptotic cell clearance. Each section delineates the proteins...

Apoptosis, Cell Signaling, and Human Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms, Volume 1

Humana Press, 2007

The aim of Apoptosis, Cell Signaling, and Human Diseases: Molecular Mechanisms is to present recent developments in cell survival and apoptotic pathways and their involvement in human diseases, such as cancers and neurodegenerative disorders. This requires an integration of knowledge from several fields of research, including...

Immunopharmacology of Platelets (Handbook of Immunopharmacology)

Academic Press, 1995

Although anucleated, blood platelets are extraordinarily efficient cells and still the subject of fruitful investigations in haematology, in vascular physiology, in biochemistry, and more recently in immunology and in physiopathology where their metabolism has been implicated as a source of potential effector compounds. It...

Osteoimmunology: Interactions of the Immune and Skeletal Systems

Springer, 2012

It has been almost 40 years since it was fi rst observed that cells of the immune system could in fl uence the functions of bone [ 1 ] . Since that time, signi fi cant strides have been made in our understanding of the interactions between hematopoietic, immune, and bone cells. This fi eld is now known as...

Principles and Practice of Pediatric Surgery

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2004

In the preface to the text that preceded this edition, we predicted that the pace of change in the clinical practice of pediatric surgery, and in our understanding of the scientific principles that are the basis for that practice, would soon render the text obsolete. That expectation was more predictable than prescient,...

Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: Molecular Genetics, Mouse Models and Targeted Therapy (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Springer, 2007

Over the past 10 years, work on acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has become the paradigm of translational research that began with the discovery of a recurrent chromosomal translocation, followed by the identification of the genes and proteins involved, finding their molecular functions in transcriptional control, establishing mouse models...

Hepatitis Delta Virus (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Springer, 2006

Hepatitis delta virus (HDV), which causes severe acute and chronic liver disease, was discovered nearly 30 years ago following the detection of a novel antigen-antibody system in hepatitis B virus carriers. HDV has continued to surprise and fascinate medical science ever since. This volume reviews recent developments in HDV research, from...

Office Andrology (Contemporary Endocrinology)

Humana Press, 2005

A comprehensive and practice-oriented resource guide to currently available diagnostic and treatment options for male infertility disorders. Topics covered range from basic sperm biology and male reproductive endocrinology, to immunology, specialized sperm testing, and the genetic background to male infertility. The authors emphasize the...

Advances in Multiple Sclerosis and Experimental Demyelinating Diseases (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Springer, 2007

The past decade has witnessed significant advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of MS and in the development of novel disease-modifying agents (DMA). The use of DMA in the treatment of patients with MS has drastically increased not only in the United States but throughout the rest of the world.

Toll-like Receptors: Roles in Infection and Neuropathology (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Springer, 2009

Mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) were first identified in 1997 based on their homology with Drosophila Toll, which mediates innate immunity in the fly. In recent years, the number of studies describing TLR expression and function in the nervous system has been increasing steadily and expanding beyond their traditional roles in infectious...
