Since a September, 1992, Nature article which read: “Can there be life without LIF?”, researchers now realize that the maternal immune system is both a foe (it can reject the conception) and a friend (immune cells and molecules are also necessary for successful pregnancy). Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) when absent, prevents embryo implantation in rodents. From fecundation to parturition, immunity acts as a Janus, required but potentially dangerous. However, the complexity and the diversity of immunity in pregnancy deters many from entering the field. This book will try to give a complete overview of immunity from gametes till parturition, in brief, but with complete chapters and subse...
This book presents the discipline of immunology which studies a unique physiological phenomenon contradicting many of the generally established rules in the field: immunology of pregnancy. It provides a wide overview of the current research of this topic. Prominent and leading international groups contributed by reviewing the most significant findings in the field.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Qu'est-ce que l'embryon ? Pour répondre à cette question, 70 spécialistes internationaux de biologie, de physiologie et d'immunologie, de génétique et de biotechnologie, de médecine ont participé au 20e colloque "Embryon 2000", organisé par le Groupe de Biologie du Développement. Les questions d'actualité (comme le clonage embryonnaire et somatique, la transgenèse, le diagnostic génétique, la thérapie cellulaire) et les problèmes éthiques qui en résultent sont discutés. L'intérêt des thèmes pluridisciplinaires abordés a conduit les auteurs à la réalisation de cet ouvrage original de synthèse.
