The rapid developments in molecular genetics have clarified many of the muta tions in monogenic thyroid diseases over the last two decades; now the target of molecular thyroid genetics has become the oligogenic thyroid diseases. These include the autoimmune thyroid diseases and familial thyroid cancers, both of which are much commoner than the monogenic diseases. However, the method ological approach to the genetics of these more complex diseases is still far from being well established. Although the discovery of susceptibility genes has been partially accomplished in complex diseases such as asthma, Crohn's dis ease, and types I and II diabetes mellitus, the elucidation of susceptibility ge...
This set reports the results of the 10th International Histocompatibility Workshop, in which 362 laboratories collaborated over a three year period in research projects on the classification of HLA genes and their products. Volume 1 describes the experimental design of the workshop studies and their results. Volume 2 is a collection of papers on the latest developments in the molecular biology of HLA systems. Immunobiology of HLA is a valuable reference for tissue typing laboratories, blood banks, and general research programs on HLA and related diseases because it identifies common sources of HLA genes and gene products to be used as reference reagents, and because it is the only complete compilation of the latest research and results in the field.
Autoimmunity and the Thyroid is a collection of papers presented at an International Satellite Meeting prior to the 7th International Congress of Endocrinology, held at the Mount Sinai Hospital, University of Toronto Medical School on June 29 and 30, 1984. The book provides presentations of participants relating to selected aspects of immune regulation and its role in autoimmune thyroid diseases. Concepts on humoral and cell-mediated immunity mechanisms in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid disease are reviewed; important observations with promising clinical implications in terms of immunogenetics of Graves' and Hashimoto's diseases are presented; and selection of appropriate therapy for Graves' thyrotoxicosis, and the possibility of preventive immunosuppressive and ophthalmopathy therapy are discussed. Endocrinologists, physicians, pathologists, physiologists, and medical researchers will find the book interesting.
This book discusses the immunobiology of Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4. It is one of the first wide-ranging attempts to conceive the role of molecules outside the major histocompatibility complex region as a common denominator for autoimmune diseases.
Almost nine months since the first recorded case, the novel betacoronovirus; severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has now passed 18 million confirmed cases. The multi-disciplinary work of researchers worldwide has provided a far deeper understanding of COVID-19 pathogenesis, clinical treatment and outcomes, lethality, disease-spread dynamics, period of infectivity, containment interventions, as well as providing a wealth of relevant epidemiological data. With 27 vaccines currently undergoing human trials, and countries worldwide continuing to battle case numbers, or prepare for resurgences, the need for efficient, high-quality pipelines for peer-reviewed research remains as crucial as ever.
