Since the turn of the new millennium, ‘translational research’, the scientific process of bringing disease-targeted knowledge from the laboratory to treat patients in the clinic, has gone mainstream and is now practiced by large universities and institutes across the globe. Into this dynamic of the rapidly changing world of translational medical research this book sets the life of one of the discipline’s most influential practitioners, Anthony Cerami. His work spans more than five decades and culminated in the discovery, invention and development of diagnostics and therapeutics used daily by millions of people. Students in molecular medicine and investigators pursuing basic science in ...
The International Symposium on Frontiers in Microbiology has been de dicated to Prof. P. De Somer, whom I succeeded shortly after his death on 17 June 1985 as Rector of this now more than 560-year old University. When Prof. De Somer became the head of the University he started to remodel it, giving our old Alma Mater a more transparent administrative structure, strengthening its scientific and cultural autonomy, and establishing close links with the most prestigious national and foreign institutions. This made De Somer to one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of rectors in the history of Belgian Universities. He was a great leader, a perfect organizer, a clever negotiator, and a brillian...
Thoroughly updated and incorporating the most important advances in the fast-growing field of cancer biology, The Biology of Cancer, Second Edition, maintains all of its hallmark features admired by students, instructors, researchers, and clinicians around the world.The Biology of Cancer is a textbook for students studying the molecular and cellula
Providing definitions, clinical features and epidemiology, this handbook and reference adopts a comprehensive approach, describing in detail the various physiological systems involved. As such, it is the first to combine sepsis and non-infectious SIRS, reviewing both the biological and medical aspects of these two important syndromes. The whole is rounded off with a discussion of past, present and future therapies.
The two volumes of Acute Phase Proteins book consist of chapters that give a large panel of fundamental and applied knowledge on one of the major elements of the inflammatory process during the acute phase response, i.e., the acute phase proteins expression and functions that regulate homeostasis. We have organized this book in two volumes - the first volume, mainly containing chapters on structure, biology and functions of APP, the second volume discussing different uses of APP as diagnostic tools in human and veterinary medicine.

'Research on immunity has dramatically expanded in recent six decades, yielding exciting new information concerning the molecules and cells that initiate the multi-faceted processes combined under the term 'Molecular Immunity'. These processes are crucial for protection against invaders, but are also responsible for certain pathogenic conditions. Prof. Kendall Smith, a prominent contributor to this field, provides in this book, for the first time, the detailed history of thoughts and consequent achievements in the field of cellular immunology.'Dr Igal GeryScientist EmeritusNational Eye Institute, NIHThis book covers a scientific history of the discoveries in immunology of the past 60-years, i.e. what was discovered, who made the advances and how they accomplished them, and why others did not.All molecular advances occurred in the last 60 years, and no one has described them.
今(2020)年8月由《光華》、台亞會及政大東南亞研究中心聯合主辦的「從部落走向世界──原民影像、音樂再發現」座談活動,首度前往台東美術館舉辦。現場邀請到研究南島文化的專家學者及藝文人士與會,兩天一夜的文化沙龍,除了有精彩的南島文化論述,原住民音樂人也公開分享他們與東南亞及大洋洲國家的交流經驗。 而《光華》長期關注原住民相關議題,早在1983年6月刊就已刊出〈青山綠水間,歌聲好悠揚——信義鄉〉,記錄了當時信義鄉原住民生活的情景;1993年12月刊更以「回到部落VS.愛在他鄉」為封面故事主題,報導汐止樟樹灣一帶「山光社區」阿美族的生活。原住民的議題,豐富且多元,包含族群起源、歲時祭儀、經濟生產、藝術文化、社會運動等層面,透過報導讓讀者感受到原民文化中繽紛且多彩的一面。本期《光華》封面故事,將試圖探討原住民在音樂、戲劇、工藝、建築的傳統與創新,以及生活智慧的傳承與延續,讓「原」藝之美,拉近人與人、族群與族群之間的距離。
