Oral Mucosa in Health and Disease
This book is designed to re-establish the position of the oral cavity and its mucosa at the forefront of defence and maintenance of homeostatic mechanisms that protect against disease not just locally but also systemically. The oral mucosa is a unique collection of tissues that constitutes a highly active environment with its own unique microflora and homeostatic interaction with the innate and adaptive immune responses. As an immune tissue the oral mucosa was somewhat neglected in the past owing to the tendency to assume similarity to the gut mucosa. More recently it has become apparent that the oral mucosa is a complex environment and, like the esophageal mucosa, has more in common with vaginal tissue than with the gut. Furthermore, the ability of the oral mucosa to act as an immune inductive site has made it an attractive area of research in terms of desensitization for allergic reactions and possibly autoimmune responses. In this book, recognized experts in the field provide up-to-date coverage of all aspects of the structure and function of the oral mucosa, reflecting important recent advances in knowledge, including at the molecular level.
Mucosal Immunology
Mucosal immunology is so important since most infectious agents enter the body through the various mucous membranes, and many common infections take place in or on mucous membranes. Mucosal Immunology, now in its third edition, is the only comprehensive reference covering the basic science and clinical manifestations of mucosal immunology. This book contains new research data, exceptional illustrations, original theory, a new perspective and excellent organization. - The most comprehensive text on mucosal immunology from internationally recognized experts in the field - Includes exceptional color illustrations, new research data, original theory and information on all mucosal diseases - Contains nine new chapters and an expanded appendix

Woelfel's Dental Anatomy
A core anatomy textbook for dentistry, dental hygiene, and dental assisting students, Woelfel's Dental Anatomy provides in-depth coverage of tooth structure, tooth function, morphology, anatomy, and terminology. Revised for greater readability, this Seventh Edition includes more material on the clinical application of tooth morphology and features 690 illustrations, twice as many as the previous edition. Content includes an updated operative dentistry chapter, a new section on sketching teeth in occlusion, and a chart on geometric tooth shapes covered on the National Board Examination for Dental Anatomy and Occlusion. This edition also includes more end-of-chapter review questions and new question sections.
Molecular Chaperones and Cell Signalling
This book reviews understanding of the biological roles of extracellular molecular chaperones. It provides an overview of the structure and function of molecular chaperones, their role in the cellular response to stress and their disposition within the cell. It also questions the basic paradigm of molecular chaperone biology - that these proteins are first and foremost protein-folding molecules. Paradigms of protein secretion are reviewed and the evolving concept of proteins (such as molecular chaperones) as multi-functional molecules for which the term 'moonlighting proteins' has been introduced is discussed. The role of exogenous molecular chaperones as cell regulators is examined and the physiological and pathophysiological role that molecular chaperones play is described. In the final section, the potential therapeutic use of molecular chaperones is described and the final chapter asks the question - what does the future hold for the extracellular biology of molecular chaperones?

Chiral Lewis Acids in Organic Synthesis
A complete overview covering the application of metal-based chiral Lewis acids from all parts of the periodic table, the Author emphasizes the most recent contributions to the field as well as prominent direction of development. The book discusses the design of chiral complexes as well as a wide spectrum of reactions promoted by various chiral Lewis acids, including water-compatible acids as well as the most important applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. A must-have for catalytic and organic chemists working in the field, both in academia and industry, as well as pharmaceutical and medicinal chemists.
Textbook of Oral Pathology
The second edition of this textbook provides undergraduate and postgraduate dental students with the most recent advances in oral pathology. Beginning with discussion on diagnostic techniques, the following chapters describe numerous diseases and disorders that may occur in the mouth, from dental caries and teeth anomalies, to cysts, tumours, infections and AIDS. The text continues with in depth examination of conditions located in the different areas of the mouth. This new edition is highly illustrated with more than 1000 clinical photographs, microphotographs, histopathology images and line diagrams. ‘Points to remember’ boxes are included for each disease or disorder, and multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter help students test their knowledge. Key points Second edition providing dental students with recent developments in oral pathology Comprehensive text, covering diagnostic techniques and treatment of both common and more complex disorders Multiple choice questions and ‘points to remember’ boxes assist revision Previous edition published in 2010
