Book Synopsis Innate Immunity: Resistance and Disease-Promoting Principles by : G. Hartmann
Download or read book Innate Immunity: Resistance and Disease-Promoting Principles written by G. Hartmann and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of the complex innate immune response is increasing rapidly. Its role in the protection against viral or bacterial pathogens is essential for the survival of an organism. However, it is equally important to avoid unregulated inflammation because innate immune responses can cause or promote chronic autoinflammatory diseases such as gout, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes or certain aspects of the metabolic syndrome. In this book leading international experts in the field of innate immunity share their findings, define the state of the art in this field and evaluate how insight into the molecular basis of these diseases could help in the design of new therapies. A tremendous amount of work on the innate immune response has been done over the last fifteen years, culminating in the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine awarded for the discoveries of Toll genes in immunity in flies, membrane-bound Toll-like receptors in mammals, and dendritic cells as initiators of adaptive immunity.

Book Synopsis Cell-specific Innate Immunity in Lung Infection and Inflammation by : Adam Ahmad Anas
Download or read book Cell-specific Innate Immunity in Lung Infection and Inflammation written by Adam Ahmad Anas and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pneumonia and asthma affect millions of adults and children annually and are responsible for a significant amount of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Our airways are continuously exposed to pathogens and allergens inhaled through air that can potentially cause these serious illnesses. The innate immune system is initiated once the epithelial barrier fails. The net effect of the innate immunity is the result of complex cell-specific responses not yet fully understood. In this thesis, we studied these cell-specific contributions to host defense using genetically modified mice in which bacterial pneumonia and asthma were simulated. Cells present in the respiratory tract are able to recognize specific molecular patterns of pathogens or allergens because of the expression Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Correct functioning of TLRs is regulated by the chaperone glycoprotein 96 (gp96), and we found that host defense of mice with gp96 deficient macrophages was strongly impaired during pneumonia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae. Next, we studied the cell-specific role of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), the universal adaptor protein found downstream in the TLR signaling pathway. In a series of studies, we found that only myeloid MyD88, but not endothelial or epithelial MyD88, contributes significantly to protection against Klebsiella pneumonia, while in pneumonia induced by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, antibacterial defense depends on epithelial but not myeloid MyD88. Finally, we examined the role of cell-specific MyD88 signaling in asthma, and found that general expression of MyD88 is essential for the development of asthma. Neither myeloid nor alveolar type II MyD88 affects asthma induced inflammatory response."--Samenvatting auteur.

Download or read book Handbook of Lung Immunity and Inflammation written by Helen Smith and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lungs are essential organs in the human body which facilitate the process of gas exchange. Lung immunity plays a critical role in the prevention of various respiratory diseases characterized by abnormal inflammation. Some of the common lung diseases are asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and fibrosis. Lung inflammation is generally caused by pathogens or by exposure to pollutants, toxins, allergens and irritants. Some common symptoms of lung inflammation are fatigue, extra mucus, wheezing, problem in breathing, gasping for air, etc. Diagnosis of lung inflammation is conducted through several tests, such as CT scan, ventilation or perfusion scan, lung function test, and blood tests. Its treatment involves anti-inflammatory medications, emergency breathing support, and surgery in severe cases. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to lung immunity and inflammation. It will also provide interesting topics for research which readers can take up. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into this field of study.

Book Synopsis How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease by : United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General
Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Kuby Immunology written by Jenni Punt and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 2997 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Janis Kuby’s groundbreaking introduction to immunology was the first textbook for the course actually written to be a textbook. Like no other text, it combined an experimental emphasis with extensive pedagogical features to help students grasp basic concepts. Now in a thoroughly updated new edition, Kuby Immunology remains the only undergraduate introduction to immunology written by teachers of the course. In the Kuby tradition, authors Jenni Punt, Sharon Stranford, Patricia Jones, and Judy Owen present the most current topics in an experimental context, conveying the excitement of scientific discovery, and highlight important advances, but do so with the focus on the big picture of the study of immune response, enhanced by unsurpassed pedagogical support for the first-time learner. Punt, Stranford, Jones, and Owen bring an enormous range of teaching and research experiences to the text, as well as a dedication to continue the experiment-based, pedagogical-driven approach of Janis Kuby. For this edition, they have worked chapter by chapter to streamline the coverage, to address topics that students have the most trouble grasping, and to continually remind students where the topic at hand fits in the study of immunology as a whole.
