Most of the antibiotics now in use have been discovered more or less by chance, and their mechanisms of action have only been elucidated after their discovery. To meet the medical need for next-generation antibiotics, a more rational approach to antibiotic development is clearly needed. Opening with a general introduction about antimicrobial drugs, their targets and the problem of antibiotic resistance, this reference systematically covers currently known antibiotic classes, their molecular mechanisms and the targets on which they act. Novel targets such as cell signaling networks, riboswitches and bacterial chaperones are covered here, alongside the latest information on the molecular mechanisms of current blockbuster antibiotics. With its broad overview of current and future antibacterial drug development, this unique reference is essential reading for anyone involved in the development and therapeutic application of novel antibiotics.
This translational, clinically oriented book describes in detail novel approaches to cancer immunotherapy, current strategies to target tumor immunosuppression, and prognostic biomarkers for personalized cancer treatments. Since the first, very successful edition of the book was published in 2015, the original chapters have been significantly updated and entirely new chapters are included on, for example, cancer immunoprevention, aptamer-mediated cancer gene therapy, haploidentical bone marrow transplantation for pediatric malignancies, and nanoimmunotherapy. The book is published as part of the three-volume Springer series Cancer Immunology, which aims to provide an up-to-date, clinically relevant review of cancer immunology and immunotherapy. Other volumes in the series address the translational medicine context and cancer immunotherapy for organ-specific tumors. Cancer Immunology: Bench to Bedside Immunotherapy of Cancers will be of special value to clinical immunologists, hematologists, and oncologists.

- Die erste umfassende Darstellung der Elektronenbeugung in der Gasphase, einer sehr erfolgreichen Methode zur Bestimmung molekularer Geometrien. - Das Buch wendet sich in erster Linie an den Nicht-Fachmann. - Die 26 Beiträge stammen von Autoren aus neun Ländern, aus allen führenden auf diesem Gebiet arbeitenden Forschungslaboratorien. - Das Buch enthält einen einführenden Artikel von Herman Mark, dem Pionier der Gasphasenelektronenbeugung und ein Vorwort von Jerome Karle, dem Chemie-Nobelpreisträger von 1985. - Es wird nur zusammen in zwei Teilbänden abgegeben. Teil A beschreibt Entwicklung und derzeitige Möglichkeiten der Methode, darunter auch ihre Kombination mit anderen Verfahren. Teil B enthält Ergebnisse von Strukturbestimmungen für zahlreiche Verbindungsklassen. Er dient als umfassendes, zuverlässiges Nachschlagewerk und bringt gleichzeitig Trends und Interpretationen von Strukturvariationen.
The Decommodification of Early Childhood Education and Care: Resisting Neoliberalism explores how processes of marketisation and privatisation of ECEC have impacted understandings of children, childcare, parents, and the workforce, providing concrete examples of resistance to commodification from diverse contexts. Through processes of marketisation and privatisation, neoliberal discourses have turned ECEC into a commodity whereby economic principles of competition and choice have replaced the purpose of education. The Decommodification of Early Childhood Education and Care: Resisting Neoliberalism offers new and alternative understandings of policy and practice. Written with co-authors from ...
