This book presents methodological and application research in detecting cellular and molecular biophysical properties based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanorobotics.
This book discusses recent research in innate immunity, which has revealed a large number of receptors that sense the presence of microorganisms or cellular damage in tissues.
This book highlights the current state of the art in single cell analysis, an area that involves many fields of science - from clinical hematology, functional analysis and drug screening, to platelet and microparticle analysis, marine biology and fundamental cancer research.
This book discusses recent research in innate immunity, which has revealed a large number of receptors that sense the presence of microorganisms or cellular damage in tissues.
Autoimmunity, characterized by autoreactive lymphocytes and autoantibodies, is the consequence of a failure to discriminate between self and non-self, and autoimmune diseases are an increasing threat to people living in the industrialized countries.
The induction of immune responses against tumor cells by vaccination is rapidly evolving as a therapeutic modality with new potentials for the treatment of cancer.
Forty years of Interferon I wish to dedicate this short introduction to the memory of Alick Isaacs (1921-1967), and to that of Sir Christopher Andrewes (1896-1988).
Over the years, the management of lymphomatous disease has followed a general trend from the purely empirical and intuitive use of medications to radiation, to surgery, and to chemotherapy with alkylating agents and anti-metabolites.

For the first time, fixation, resin embedding and immunocytochemistry, the subjects of innumerable publications, have been organised into a comprehensive and coherent scheme showing how the various methodologies interrelate.
Upon contemplating an updated version of the 1974 edition of this book and envisioning its possible organization, it immediately became evident that the new version could no longer be written by one, two, or even three authors.
The author of this remarkably comprehensive review, PIERRE DUSTIN, has performed an invaluable service in bringing to- gether in one volume the observations and theory on micro- tubules that have accumulated over the last fifteen years.
Im vorliegenden Band wird die vielschichtige klinische Problematik von Herzmuskel- und Perikarderkrankungen sowie der Herz- und Perikardtumoren ausführlich dargestellt.
The body contains many cellular systems that require the continuous production of new, fully functional, differentiated cells to replace cells lacking or having limited self-renewal capabilities that die or are damaged during the lifetime of an individual.

With the advent of transgenic technology, which allows the identification of specific gene activities in developing mammalian organisms, the house mouse has once again taken a very important place in experimental research as one of the genetically best understood mammals.
Phagocytic cells and complement are probably the most important components of host defense against bacteria which, after overcoming the mucosal and epithelial barriers, multiply in the subepithelial tissue and may threaten to disseminate and invade the blood stream and different organs.
Although plasma cell tumors are still an enigma, the authorprovides an excellent overview of all aspects of examinationand treatment of gammopathies, based on 30 years ofexperience examining more than 1500 patients.
The development of new techniques such as immuno- phenotyping, cytogenetic investigations and, more recently, molecular studies has considerably increased our diagnostic repertoire and broadened our ideas about the biology of acute leukemias.
In this book the current knowledge on human cytomegalovirus(HCMV) as a human pathogen is lucidly summarized, bringingthe reader fully up to date with current knowledgeconcerning HCMV and all the known clincial and medicalaspects of diseases caused by, and associated with, HCMV.
The basis for the effective treatment and cure of a patient is the rapid diagnosis of the disease and its causative agent, which is based on the analysis of the clinical symptoms coupled with laboratory tests.
Provided here is a comprehensive examination of the basicand clinical condition of three innovative and promisingapproaches to cancer therapy, which may support or evensubstitute chemotherapy: differentiation, immunomodulation,and inhibition of angiogenesis.
Das Buch enthält die Übersichtsreferate und Gastvorlesungen, die auf der Jahrestagung der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft im August/September 1990 in Hannover gehalten wurden.
For a long time, immunology has been dominated by the idea of a simple linear cause-effect relationship between the exposure to an antigen and the production of specific antibodies against that antigen.
In the field of Hodgkin's lymphoma, many new data have been collected during the last decade both on the cell of origin of this disease and on more effective therapies to cure the majority of pa- tients even in the advanced stages.
