Deciphering the T Cell Response in SARS-CoV-2 Infection
COVID-19 is a recently emerged infectious disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The immune system has a primary role in pathogen elimination and a rapid and effective response can limit disease severity. In this context, T cells play the major role in cell mediated adaptive immune response. The protective role of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells has been inferred from studies on patients who recovered from SARS and MERS and accumulating data are now showing their relevance in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Moreover, memory T cells induced by previous pathogens can shape the susceptibility to, and the clinical severity of other infections, but the complete picture has yet to be elucidated. If the virus is not rapidly eliminated, COVID-19 may progress towards a secondary inflammatory phase that is directly responsible for a worsening in clinical symptoms and immune system impairment. Besides marked lymphopenia, COVID-19 patients’ T cell compartment displays several alterations involving different subpopulations of T cells in terms of phenotype, metabolic profile and functionality.
Complexes of Natural Flavonoids with Transition Metals
Human organisms adapted to plant-based diets in hunter-gatherers times. Statistical studies show that people consuming plant products on a regular basis have lower risks of developing cancer and neurodegenerative diseases than people preferably eating starch and fat. The beneficial effects of plants are primarily associated with flavonoids, molecules present in fruits, vegetables, teas, and herbs, also known in traditional medicine for their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. Flavonoids are able to bind metals and form complexes. The present book summarizes the scientific evidence collected over the past decade on the structure, chemistry, and biological function of the complexes of natural flavonoids with nine essential metals representing d-block elements of the periodic table. The role of each individual metal in the human body and the diseases affected by metal-flavonoid complexes are described. The materials collected in the book will be of interest to chemists, biologists, nutritionists, and medicinal scientists.

Natural Products and Nano-Formulations in Cancer Chemoprevention
This book covers various aspects of cancer chemoprevention, including an overview of chemoprevention in the process of tumorigenesis; the roles of various phytochemicals, functional foods, and dietary interventions in disease prevention; and techniques such as cancer stem cell targeting, nano-formulations, and so forth. The nutrigenomic and epigenetic effects of natural products at the molecular and genetic levels are also covered alongside their potential for additive and synergistic effect, as well as overcoming drug resistance. The key selling features of the book are as follows: Discusses holistic and comprehensive areas of chemoprevention Includes diverse techniques, such as cancer stem...
Single Cell Analysis
This book highlights the current state of the art in single cell analysis, an area that involves many fields of science – from clinical hematology, functional analysis and drug screening, to platelet and microparticle analysis, marine biology and fundamental cancer research. This book brings together an eclectic group of current applications, all of which have a significant impact on our current state of knowledge. The authors of these chapters are all pioneering researchers in the field of single cell analysis. The book will not only appeal to those readers more focused on clinical applications, but also those interested in highly technical aspects of the technologies. All of the technologies identified utilize unique applications of photon detection systems.
Gold Medal for Architecture
This publication showcases the award-winners and finalists of the Gold Medal for Italian Architecture, given to the best of contemporary Italian architecture for 2006. The range of works, from linear park to ship-building yard, from public library to office headquarters, demonstrates that good architecture and urban design can permeate everyday life.
Synthesis, Study and Utilization of Natural Products
Natural products and the preparations based on them play a stable and ever-increasing role in human and veterinary medicine, agriculture, in food and the cosmetic industry, and in an increasing number of other fields. Their importance is based on the fact that they are mostly bound to renewable sources, which in fact makes them valuable within a circular economy, inter alia. At the same time, natural products provide the origin of stereochemistry, optical activity, regioselectivity, chirality, and many other concepts and directions within science, development, and industry in a scope, which is indispensable. They serve as a constant powerful stimulus and model that inspires researchers to create new effective tools, similar to natural ones, for controlling bioregulation mechanisms and solving practical problems. This was the reason for organizing this Special Issue aimed at underlining the current developments in all the fields connected to natural products.
