This book presents current understanding of the importance of modern immunology in the etiopathogenesis of human diseases and explores how this understanding is impacting on diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prophylaxis. As the core of modern immunology, the “danger/injury model” is introduced and addressed throughout the book. Volume I of the book describes the network of damage-associated molecular pattern molecules (DAMPs) and examines the central role of DAMPs in cellular stress responses and associated regulated cell death, the promotion and resolution of inflammation, the activation of innate lymphoid cells and unconventional T cells, the stimulation of adaptive immunity, and ti...

More than 12,000 soldiers from the Highlands of Scotland were recruited to serve in Great Britain’s colonies in the Americas in the middle to the late decades of the eighteenth century. In this compelling history, Matthew P. Dziennik corrects the mythologized image of the Highland soldier as a noble savage, a primitive if courageous relic of clanship, revealing instead how the Gaels used their military service to further their own interests and, in doing so, transformed the most maligned region of the British Isles into an important center of the British Empire.
Wie wird Raum durch historische und religiöse Ansprüche auf Grundbesitz konzipiert und konstituiert? Wie wird Enteignung in sich verändernden Eigentumsordnungen umgesetzt und theoretisiert? Die Beiträge dieses Bandes befassen sich mit postkolonialen Kritiken des Grundbesitzes und bieten eine dringend benötigte Kontextualisierung der Art und Weise, wie die Geschichte des göttlichen Besitzes, des Imperiums, des Siedlerkolonialismus, der Sklaverei und der Enteignung indigener Völker die heutige Praxis des Grundbesitzes beeinflusst. Das Buch vereint dafür Perspektiven aus den Bereichen Religionswissenschaft, Geschichte, Philosophie, Rechtsgeschichte, Ökonomie und Soziologie und leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Verknüpfung von Theorie und Praxis in der Kritik zeitgenössischer Eigentumsordnungen in Europa und Nordamerika; es liefert zudem methodische Anregungen, um theoretische Diskussionen auf ein nuanciertes Verständnis der Vergangenheit zu gründen. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/
The core of this three-volume book deals with damage-associated molecular patterns abbreviated “DAMPs”, which are unique molecules that save life and fight for survival of all organisms on this planet by triggering robust inflammatory/immune defense responses upon any injury, including those caused by pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. However, these molecules also have a dark side: when produced in excess upon severe insults, they can trigger serious human diseases. The three volumes present current understanding of the importance of DAMP-promoted immune responses in the etiopathogenesis of human diseases and explore how this understanding is impacting diagnosis, prognosis, and fut...
