Immunoendocrinology in Health and Disease
One of the first comprehensive references dealing specifically with this new field of interdisciplinary research in medicine, Immunoendocrinology in Health and Disease offers a full scientific picture of where the immune and neuroendocrine systems intersect-placing current understanding of system components, mechanisms, and functions side by side w
48-Volt Developments
Development of higher-voltage electrical systems in vehicles has been slowly progressing over the past few decades. However, tightening vehicle efficiency and emissions regulations and increasing demand for onboard electrical power means that higher voltages, in the form of supplemental 48 V subsystems, may soon be nearing production as the most cost-effective way to meet regulations. The displacement of high-wattage loads to more efficient 48 V networks is expected to be the next step in the development of a new generation of mild hybrid vehicles. In addition to improved fuel economy and reduced emissions, 48 V systems could potentially save costs on new electrical features and help better ...
Hormonal Control of Lactation
Research on the hormonal control oflactation - the subject of this monograph - has long been the major interest of this laboratory. Studies were initiated in the mid 1930s by the late Professor S. 1. Folley, FRS, who directed the work with immense enthusiasm and devotion until his untimely death in 1970. This fruitful area of basic and applied research has, in recent years, attracted widespread attention; there have been many exciting events and developments with a dramatic increase in the number of publications. These events are diverse and include the identification, isolation and sequencing of human prolactin; the identification and isolation of placentallactogens in several ruminant spec...
TSH Receptor and Autoimmunity
The present Research Topic aims to provide updated reviews on TSH receptor structure and function, and its relationship with thyroid autoimmunity. Indeed, original reviews deal also with the pathogenesis of Graves' disease and its complications such as thyroid-associated opthalmopathy. Another issue that is addressed in this topic is the multifaceted nature of TSH receptor autoantibodies (TRAbs) and their role in the diagnosis and prognosis of Graves’ disease, with the most recent data on the clinical applications of TRAbs assays. Furthermore, the functional role of the TSH receptor in extrathyroidal tissues is discussed.
Women in Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Immunology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy.
Activation of Hormone and Growth Factor Receptors
This volume contains the papers presented in the NATO Advanced Research Workshop "Activation of Hormone and Growth Factor Receptors: Molecular Mechanisms and Consequences" held in Nafplion, Greece on September 25-30, 1988. The objective of NATO ARW is to assess the state of-the-art in a given scientific area and to formulate recommendations for future research in emerging areas of science by promoting international scientific contacts. In the Nafplion meeting this objective was reached by an international group of speakers, senior Greek scientists and graduates involved in relevant research areas. The Workshop was made possible by the generous support of the Scientific Council of NATO. We th...
The Structure of Tort Law
The first English translation of a classic of German tort theory, this book analyses the theoretical foundations of tort law in historical and comparative perspective. Focusing on the tensions in modern German tort law, the book explains the historical development of tortious liability, and argues for a foundational role of outcome responsibility.
The Routledge Handbook to Regional Development in Central and Eastern Europe
Twenty-five years into transformation, Central and Eastern European regions have undergone substantial socio-economic restructuring, integrating into European and global networks and producing new patterns of regional differentiation and development. Yet post-socialist modernisation has not been without its contradictions, manifesting in increasing social and territorial inequalities. Recent studies also suggest there are apparent limits to post-socialist growth models, accompanying a new set of challenges within an increasingly uncertain world. Aiming to deliver a new synthesis of regional development issues at the crossroads between ‘post-socialism’ and ‘post-transition’, this book...
