Infection and Autoimmunity
Infection and Autoimmunity encompasses the different mechanisms involved in the infection-autoimmunity association/induction. Special attention is given to heat shock proteins (HSPs) and to transgenic mouse models to better understand infection-induced autoimmunity. Organized into six parts, this book first discusses the mechanisms of autoimmune induction by infection. Some chapters follow discussing the vaccination and vaccines, including the controversial issue of vaccine-autoimmunity relationship. Other chapters elucidate the relationship of bacteria and parasites to autoimmunity. Lastly, the aspects of infections and diseases are described. This reference material will help readers gain a deeper insight into the important etiological aspects of autoimmunity. - The only book directed at the interactions between infectious agents and autoimmunity - Describes the prevalence and incidence of the global issues and current therapeutic approaches - Presents the measures for infection control - Completely updated, with new chapters - One-stop reference with easy access to topics
Facilitative Glucose Transporters
This book is a comprehensive text covering the major aspects of the cell and molecular biology of the facilitative glucose transporter family. The text reviews the biology and function of each family member, covers structure-function studies, the regulation of glucose transport by insulin and the consequence of diabetes and insulin resistance, discusses aspects of cellular signalling which control glucose transport, reviews the control of expression and function of GLUT2 in liver and pancreatic beta-cells, and reviews the effects of nutrients on the control of sugar transporter expression.
Nanomedicine, Volume IIA
The safety, effectiveness, and utility of medical nanorobotic devices will critically depend upon their biocompatibility with human organs, tissues, cells, and biochemical systems. In this Volume, we broaden the definition of nanomedical biocompatibility to include all of the mechanical, physiological, immunological, cytological, and biochemical re

B Lymphocytes and Autoimmunity
This is a collection of papers presented at the B Lymphocytes and Autoimmunity conference held on May 21-25, 1996 in Prague. The information presented includes data on B cell subset identification and development, antibody repertoire selection, tolerance induction, and antigen presentation. Each of these has a significant impact on the generation of autoantibodies and the development of autoimmune disease. A multidisciplinary discussion of the basic and clinical aspects of B cell function and autoimmunity is provided.
Oral Biology at the Turn of the Century
The swift pace of research in oral biology during the past decade has made it difficult to gain a comprehensive overview even in this narrow field. 'Oral Biology at the Turn of the Century' contains the lectures and summaries of discussion sessions held at the international symposium commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the European Research Group on Oral Biology (ERGOB) in Interlaken. It is a timely volume presenting exciting insights on the epidemiology of oral diseases, orofacial patterning and regeneration, host-microbial interactions, the role of saliva in health and disease, and future strategies for controlling and engineering processes in the oral cavity. This publication, providing a summary of contemporary oral biology based on the latest techniques in epidemiology and molecular and cellular biology, will be very valuable to both clinicians and researchers.
