Immunomodulatory Effects of Drugs for Treatment of Immune-Related Diseases
More than 90% of diseases possess immunological abnormalities. Disorders such as inflammation, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity and immunodeficiency are simple examples of how the immune system misinterprets its surroundings and goes awry. Multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel diseases, among many others are manifestations of immune cells attacking normal tissues. On the other hand, damping the immune system leads to diseases such as cancer, AIDS, and severe combined immunodeficiency. The last ten years witnessed an explosion in developing drugs that target the immune system. Several novel monoclonal antibodies have been approved for treatme...
The Chemokine System in Experimental and Clinical Hematology
The aim of the issue is to describe and explain the importance of the chemokine system in hematology. The chemokine system is probably important for many aspects of normal as well as malignant hematopoiesis. A major focus is the development and treatment of hematologic malignancies, including the immunobiology of stem cell transplantation. The present reviews illustrate that chemokines can be involved in leukemogenesis. The chemokine system is also important both for the crosstalk between malignant cells and their neighbouring nonmalignant stromal cells (including endothelial cells) as well as for immunoregulation in patients treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Thus, chemokines are important both for the pathogenesis and treatment of hematological diseases.

Receptor Activation by Antigens, Cytokines, Hormones, and Growth Factors
Upon ligand binding, cell-surface receptors transmit activity signals into the cell, activating multiple metabolic and mitogenic pathways. Although the nature of the stimulatory molecules is infinitely varied, the principles involved in propagating the signals are ubiquitous. Thus, such different stimulators as antigens, cytokines, hormones, and growth factors use similar transduction principles, including ligand-induced receptor internalisation of receptor-ligand complexes, activation of G proteins, aligomerisation, increases in Ca2+ uptake, activation of tyrosine kinases or other kinases and phosphatases, protein phosphorylation or dephosphorylation, and the triggering of oncogenes and transcription factors. The signalling molecules interact with each other through universal zippers, such as SH2 and SH3 domains. This volume integrates the work of the most significant contributors to the field in elucidating the mechanisms involved in these signal transduction pathways.
Interleukin-2 and Killer Cells in Cancer
This is the first-and only-publication available which provides the most recent information in this particular field of biomedicine. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-2 activated killer cells have been shown to have a potential in the treatment of a variety of human malignant diseases. This work comprehensively summarizes basic aspects of IL-2 as well as its clinical application, therefore making all these aspects easily accessible to the readers. Because of the clinical significance of this molecule in the treatment of cancer, the basic and clinical investigations in the IL-2 field are rapidly expanding, together with the interest of the scientific and medical community. This book is an excellent educational and teaching tool for scientists, clinicians, and students. Those who already have expertise in research in the IL-2 area will find this reference indispensible.
