Different from other resources, this volume offers a broad appeal to microbiologists, immunologists, and infectious disease specialists on Autoimmune Diseases.
Complement has long been regarded as a pivotal effector arm of the innate immune response, eliciting important immunoregulatory functions in the context of inflammation and also serving as a vital link between the innate and adaptive immune response.
A particular issue for biopharmaceuticals that has not been addressed comprehensively in any book, is the potential of an immune response to the biopharmaceutical product.
Asthma, Health, and SocietyA Public Health PerspectiveEdited by Andrew Harver, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, CharlotteHarry Kotses, Ohio University, Athens Asthma, Health, and Society is a comprehensive, current resource on this complex disease its scope, human costs, and management from a combined social ecology/public health perspective.
During the past decades, with the introduction of the recombinant DNA, hybridoma and transgenic technologies there has been an exponential evolution in understanding the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of a large number of human diseases.
The reader will be introduced to various aspects of the fundamentals of nanotechnology based drug delivery systems and the application of these systems for the delivery of small molecules, proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides and genes.
The 34th Annual Conference of the International Society on Oxygen Transport to Tissue (ISOTT) was held during August 12-17, 2006 in Louisville, Kentucky, USA.
This book reviews, updates, and synthesizes the recent accomplishments and on- ing research in the field of composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA).
Hot Topics in Infection and Immunity in Children IV contains chapters based on lectures given by speakers at the "e;Infection and Immunity in Children"e; course, held in June 2006 at Keble College, Oxford.
Up until approximately 20 years ago, the idea that the central nervous system (CNS) and components of the immune system were dynamically interactive was considered impossible (or at least highly unlikely) as the CNS was judged an immunosuppressive environment based upon experimental evidence highlighting the survival of tissue grafts within the brain.
In 1971, I started a fellowship in infectious diseases and medical microbiology at the Channing Laboratory of the Harvard Medical Service at Boston City Hospital.
During the last few decades, Sleep Medicine and Science, and many of their diverse aspects, have emerged as areas of intense medical and scientific interest.
There is now a pressing need to discuss the already described and newly emerging mechanisms to see how they can be put together in more or less cohesive structure and how they can help to improve immune response to tumors.
Immune responses at mucosal surfaces play a major role in host mucosal defense against microbial pathogens and in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic mucosal inflammatory diseases.
The goal of the International Immune-Mediated Diseases: From Theory to Therapy (IMD) Congress is to bring the best world immunologists and clinicians to Moscow to participate in plenary sessions, symposia and educational workshops designed to expose basic and clinical immunologist as well as practicing clinicians to the newest developments in the field.
Innate Immunity has long been regarded as the non-specific arm of immune response, acting immediately and in a generic way, to defend the host from infections.
At the beginning of a Southern Hemisphere Autumn, the ISOTT tribe assembled for its annual corroboree on the banks of the Brisbane River in Australia for five days of exciting science.
In the past two decades, enormous strides have been made These tools for exploring brain biochemistry at the cellular in our understanding of the relationships between inflamma- level opened new vistas for understanding brain functioning tion, innate immune responses, adaptive immune responses, and the pathogenesis of human disease.
Systems biology and computational biology have recently become prominent areas of research in the biomedical community, especially in the area of cell biology.
Recognizing the clinician's need for quick access to a comprehensive and immediately useful presentation of evidence-based material, the authors and editors have condensed the research on the most common otorhinolaryngological complaints into this indispensable volume.
We are at the beginning of the third decade of studies at the molecular level on the pathogenesis of Listeria monocytogenes and the response of the host to its infections.
In recent years, major developments have been made in understanding various genetic and epigenetic regulatory processes that are critical for the generation of B cell repertoires.
We are extremely happy to present the reader this book containing a summary of a well-known research field, the phenomenon of cellular stress defense from two new angles: networks and membranes.
