Whether an airplane or a space shuttle, a flying machine requires advanced materials to provide a strong, lightweight body and a powerful engine that functions at high temperature. The Aerospace Materials Handbook examines these materials, covering traditional superalloys as well as more recently developed light alloys. Capturing state-of-the-art d

From A to Z, Abandon Superstitions (1958; Po Chu Mi Xing in Chinese) to Zuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru (1984; Zuo Wen Jun Ahe Si Ma Xiang Ru), this comprehensive reference work provides filmographic data on 2,444 Chinese features released since the formation of the People's Republic of China. The films reflect the shifting dynamics of the Chinese film industry, from sweeping epics to unabashedly political docudramas, although straight documentaries are excluded from the current work. The entries include the title in English, the Chinese title (in Pinyin romanization with each syllable noted separately for clarity), year of release, studio, technical information (e.g., black and white or color, letterboxed or widescreen), length, technical credits, literary source (when applicable), cast, plot summary, and awards won.

We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and, especially in the last years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Immunology. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of Immunology in 2022. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Prof. Francesca Granucci Specialty Chief Editor of the Molecular Innate Immunity section, and Dr. Uday Kishore is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of molecular innate immunity.
Hepatobiliary cancers, encompassing biliary tract cancer (BTC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are highly lethal. Biliary tract cancer is a deadly disease with a very low five-year survival rate. BTC is assumed to be the fifth most common gastrointestinal malignancy and can be categorized into extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (EHC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHC) and gallbladder cancer (GBC), based on the anatomic location. Patients suffering from BTC can be currently treated with radiation therapy, palliative or with a combination of two chemotherapeutics, cisplatin and gemcitabine. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most prevalent form of liver cancers and was responsible for over 83...
There hasn’t been a better time to be a drug developer for immune-based therapies than the past couple of decades. We have seen an explosion in immune-based therapies for cancer, autoimmune and infectious diseases, metabolic diseases and diseases and disorders of the nervous system. The modalities of these immune-based therapies span small molecules, biologics, and gene and cell therapeutic approaches. Significant advances have been made in optimizing drug design for its specificity for the target, characterizing the mode of action in in vitro assays, and ensuring safety and manufacturability. However, an area of challenge that remains is identifying animal models for evaluating efficacy and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics relationship that are predictive of drug effects in humans. Discussion on this topic is warranted as examples of failures of translation from animal models to humans provide us an opportunity to learn more about human biology.
