      Cytokine Response Against Major Human Viral Infections provides in-depth coverage of the immunological response against human viral infections and the role and impact of cytokines on disease pathogenesis and host immune response.Cytokines, as a part of innate immunity, initiate the development of antiviral and TH 1-type immune responses. Cytokines also affect the adaptive immune response and disease manifestation. In five sections, this book gives a comprehensive introduction to the clinical manifestations of viral and infectious diseases; details the role of cytokines in DNA virus infections, RNA virus infections, and reverse transcribing virus infections; and gives insights into the recent advances and strategies in diagnostic tools and therapeutic and prophylactic measures.Cytokine Response Against Major Human Viral Infections is valuable resource for both researchers in immunology and virology, as well as for those in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, engaged in the study of cytokines and their immunological response against human viral infections.

      Small Lungs and Obstructed Airways: Reassessing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease proposes an alternative perspective to current explanations for the distribution of chronic lung disease. The book considers the link between chronic respiratory disease and associated mortality with smaller lungs rather than obstructed airways and explores other factors contributing to poor lung health besides the current emphasis on the roles of air pollution, occupational exposures, and cardio-metabolic disease. It presents the findings of the Burden of Obstructive Lung Disease (BOLD) study, sharing new views on the prevalence of obstructive lung disease and risk factors across various global regions. Sections cover decreased lung function, including the prevalent views on the impact of both household and external air pollution, occupational exposure, and the prenatal and postnatal/childhood environment in the etiology of impaired lung function and COPD. The book then moves on to discussions on the impact poverty and nutrition has on lung health, sharing the findings of the BOLD study regarding its effect on lung function and risk of COPD in lower-income countries. The book closes with a chapter outlining the clinical and public health implications of the findings discussed in the book.

      The Multitasking Molecular Chaperone Hsp60: Structure, Function, and Impact on Health and Disease provides an overview of this key component of the Chaperone System (CS). The book covers various areas of medicine in which Hsp60 chaperonopathies have been identified. Various chapters discuss the Hsp60 structure, localization, functions, and participation in disease mechanisms both genetic and acquired, focusing on humans but also presenting data obtained from pro- and eukaryotic experimental models. The main goal is to provide information accessible to all healthcare professionals in a way that can be understood by nonspecialists and that would stimulate clinical and pathological detection of Hsp60 chaperonopathies.Mol... mechanisms are briefly described with the purpose of illuminating roads toward accurate diagnosis, treatment, and patient monitoring. Consequently, the possibility of developing/applying chaperonotherapy centered on Hsp60, as a therapeutic tool or target, is analyzed in many sections of this book, across a variety of medical specialties. Over the last several years, the importance of the CS as a physiological system has been brought to prominence and its roles in health and disease made clear. The molecular chaperones, including Hsp60, are the key components of the CS that are typically cytoprotective, but they can also be etiopathogenic factors, causing diseases named chaperonopathies.
