Dendritic Cells, Second Edition is the new edition of the extremely successful book published in 1998. With the volume of literature on dendritic cells doubling every year, it is almost impossible to keep up. This book provides the most up-to-date synthesis of the literature, written by the very best authors. It is essential reading for any scientist working in immunology, cell biology, infectious diseases, cancer, transplantation, genetic engineering, or the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry.An entirely new section on DC biology is included in this edition. Also new to this edition are chapters on: - Imaging - Interaction of dendritic cells with viruses - Dendritic cells and dendrikines, chemokines and the endothelium - Molecules expressed in dendritic cells - Role of dendritic cells in wound healing and atherosclerosis - Delivery of apoptotic bodies - Genetic engineering of dendritic cells - Imaging - Practical aspects of clinical protocol development
Eosinophils in Health and Disease provides immunology researchers and students with a comprehensive overview of current thought and cutting-edge eosinophil research, providing chapters on basic science, disease-specific issues, therapeutics, models for study and areas of emerging importance.
A richly illustrated overview of the storied football program at Notre Dame combines year-by-year accounts of the accomplishments of the school's greatest athletes, as well as profiles of hundreds of players and coaches, such as the Four Horsemen, Knute Rockne, Joe Montana, Digger Phelps, and others.
Recent advances in immunology and molecular biology have resulted in new therapeutic approaches being generated and implemented in cancer clinics. The discovery of new antigens, mechanisms of antigen presentation, and interplay of cells involved in anti-tumor immunity have made the clinical control of some cancers more plausible than previously tho
Natural Killer Cells explains the importance of killer cells and how they are produced. It mentions that the most likely explanation for killer cell production is that they serve as a complementary system for T cells as a primary defense against viruses. However, these cells defend against certain viruses only, such as herpes viruses and influenza viruses. The book also explains the primary functions of killer cells, and it discusses how these cells help recognize damaged tissues, limit further damage to tissues, and regenerate damaged tissues. It discusses how these cells mature and develop, and it covers the different isolation, culture, and propagation methods of these cells. Furthermore,...
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
Cytokines in the Genesis and Treatment of Cancer provides a comprehensive picture of the dual role of host responses in promoting and inhibiting tumor progression. This volume represents an important investigation into the emerging intersection of cancer biology and cancer immunology. The book brings together an impressive array of internationally distinguished investigators who are devoted to the study of cytokines and cancer.
Frederick C. Beiser presents the first book to be written on two of the most important idealist philosophers in Germany after Hegel: Adolf Trendelenburg and Rudolf Lotze. Beiser addresses every aspect of their philosophy— logic, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics—and traces their intellectual development from their youth until their death.
Over recent years, native pentameric C-reactive protein (pCRP) and its biologically active dissociated form, monomer monomeric CRP (mCRP) have assumed an important role in disease development and pathophysiology. In this series, we have highlighted the thoughts and research of the most eminent scientists in the field of CRP research. This eBook is a collection of original articles and reviews on the subject, creating an archive of current knowledge and understanding. This Research Topic provides new findings of the role of CRP in the fields of neuroscience, cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and macular degeneration as well as defined links to stages in pathological disease progression. These articles explain the mechanisms and pathways through which the dissociated mCRP interacts with a variety of cells, and provide possible prognostic implications and new methods for analysis. Over the coming years, the importance and fascination of the active role of CRP in health and disease is set to rise, and we hope this collection will serve as a valuable reference for these future investigations.
