Immunology at a Glance
Wiley 2012; US$ 39.95Immunology at a Glance provides a user-friendly overview of the body’s defence mechanisms. Ideal from day one of a medical, biomedical or life science course, the text begins with a basic overview of both adaptive and innate immunity, before progressing to applied immunological concepts, which look at what happens when things go wrong, and... more...
Ernährung im Kontext von Geschlechterverhältnissen
Springer Fachmedien 2010; US$ 31.99Current Topics in Innate Immunity II
Springer 2011; US$ 149.99Mounting evidence in the past decade indicates that innate immunity mediates functions above and beyond first-line defense against infection. It is now appreciated that innate immune mechanisms are critically involved in the development of adaptive immunity and, moreover, the regulation of diverse physiological and homeostatic processes. The latter... more...
Tumour-Associated Macrophages
Springer 2011; US$ 149.99The subject of Tumour-Associated Macrophages is of interest in the cancer research community, and this book promises to be among the first to discuss a definitive theory on the role of macrophage in tumor development. more...
Immunosenescence
Springer 2012; US$ 149.99As individuals age, their ability to respond to and clear pathogens and to control unwanted immune reactions declines, leading to a greater incidence of certain infectious diseases, autoimmunity and general immune dysfunctions. Most remarkably, the efficacy of vaccines is frequently decreased in elderly persons. Therefore, age-associated dysfunctions... more...
Epigenetic Regulation of Lymphocyte Development
Springer 2012; US$ 149.99The studies described in this volume serve as a starting point to familiarize oneself with the multifarious differences in epigenetic designs that orchestrate the progression of developing blood cells. They also may serve as a general paradigm for the mechanisms that underpin the control of eukaryotic gene expression. more...
Mechanical Stretch and Cytokines
Springer 2011; US$ 149.99This book presents the latest findings in the field of investigation of molecular mechanisms of mechanical stretch and the role of cytokines in response of different tissues to it. On the one hand this volume demonstrates how mechanical stretch enhances cytokines production. It describes how cytokines influence tissues and cells on a background of... more...
Ricin and Shiga Toxins
Springer 2012; US$ 149.99In May of 2011, Western Europe experienced a severe outbreak of Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing E. coli (STEC) that culminated in more than 3200 cases and 39 deaths. While Stx is not the only virulence factor associated with STEC, it is certainly the primary determinant associated with the onset of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). At the present time,... more...
