  • Publisher: CABI

This book provides a broad overview of the current understanding of Helicobacter pylori emphasizing its world health impacts. It includes 13 chapters organized into 3 parts: "Pathologies and Treatment", "Host Response" and "Bacterial Defence". Part I (5 chapters) reviews the epidemiology of H. pylori infection, H. pylori infection in Asia, gastric adenocarcinoma, antimicrobial resistance and approaches to treatment, and extragastric manifestations of H. pylori infection. Part II (4 chapters) describes H. pylori-induced acquired immunity and immunoregulation, host genetic factors and susceptibility to H. pylori pathogenesis, innate immune initiators and effectors in H. pylori infection, and H. pylori vaccines. Part III (4 chapters) discusses the importance of H. pylori lipopolysaccharides in gastric adaptation and pathogenesis, H. pylori virulence factors, H. pylori adhesion to the gastric surface, and helicobacteromics. This book is an essential resource for researchers, students and medics in infectious and Helicobacter-associated diseases.

"The US government has deported people to face abuse and even death in El Salvador. The US is not solely responsible--Salvadoran gangs who prey on deportees and Salvadoran authorities who harm deportees or who do little or nothing to protect them bear direct responsibility--but in many cases the US is putting Salvadorans in harm's way in circumstances where it knows or should know that harm is likely."--Publisher website, viewed February 14, 2020.

  • Publisher: MDPI

Human milk is uniquely tailored to meet infants’ specific nutritional requirements. However, it is more than just “milk”. This dynamic and bioactive fluid allows mother–infant signalling over lactation, guiding the infant in the developmental and physiological processes. It exerts protection and life-long biological effects, playing a crucial role in promoting healthy growth and optimal cognitive development. The latest scientific advances have provided insight into different components of human milk and their dynamic changes over time. However, the complexity of human milk composition and the synergistic mechanisms responsible for its beneficial health effects have not yet been unra...

Nanotechnology is key to the design and manufacture of the new generation of cosmetics. Nanotechnology can enhance the performance and properties of cosmetics, including colour, transparency, solubility, texture, and durability. Sunscreen products, such as UV nano-filters, nano-TiO2 and nano-ZnO particles, can offer an advantage over their traditional counterparts due to their broad UV-protection and non-cutaneous side effects. For perfumes, nano-droplets can be found in cosmetic products including Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. Nanomaterials can also be used in cosmetics as transdermal drug delivery systems. By using smart nanocontainers, active compounds such as vitamins, antioxidants,...

Keratin as a Protein Biopolymer

  • Type: Book
  • -
  • Published: 2018-11-23
  • -
  • Publisher: Springer

This book provides information about the sources, structure, and properties of keratin as well as its applications. The extraction from different biomass sources (e.g. feathers, hairs, nails, horn, hoof, and claws) as well as the characterization methods of these extracted materials are explained. The development of bioproducts from keratins is challenging and limited since they are neither soluble in polar solvents nor in non-polar solvents. Therefore, the utilization of different microorganisms for the degradation of keratin is also discussed. The main aim of this book is to highlight the unique features of keratin and to update readers with the possible prospects to develop various value-added products from keratins. The book is highly interesting to researchers working in industry and academia on bioproducts, tissue engineering, biocomposites, biofilm, and biofibers.
