    • English
    Metabolites as Signals in Immunity and Inflammation describes the revolution in the definition of the word metabolism, highlighting changes in thinking about the whole field of immunology. These changes occur thanks to breakthrough experiments in basic research, and with the help of new technologies that allow for the testing of immunology hypotheses. In recent years, a substantial number of findings have been made around immunometabolism. What is emerging is a complex interplay between metabolic reprogramming and immunity, which is providing an extra dimension to our understanding of the immune system in health and disease.

  • Agriculture Toward Net Zero Emissions

    • 1st Edition
    • Sandeep Kumar + 1 more
    • English
    Agriculture Toward Net Zero Emissions explores how agriculture has historically contributed to carbon emissions and then takes the reader forward, offering insights into an integrated approach to reducing those emissions toward the COP26 goal. The dual challenge of increasing production to meet population and nutrition food demands while reducing the traditional emissions generated by production practices is significant. It requires understanding the foundation of current practices and then revising those underlying principles to reflect the resources and greater insights of today.This book provides an overview of the current state of the science, explores the development of policies and plans to improve carbon management, and provides examples of technology and agroecosystem management practices. It includes the latest updates in carbon neutral farming, carbon and energy management, and addresses the knowledge gap between input management, livestock management and agroecosystem management.Advancing agroecosystem science through a roadmap for improving capacity, Agriculture Toward Net Zero Emissions is a valuable resource for those seeking to develop and apply new agricultural best practices.

    Viral Hepatitis in Asia and the Pacific: Towards Elimination as a Public Health Threat documents the narratives, innovations, and scope of work in the Asia-Pacific region in starting, consolidating, and moving towards the elimination of viral hepatitis. The Asia-Pacific region is disproportionately affected by viral hepatitis, accounting for two-thirds of the global burden. Countries from low-, middle- and high-income economies have adopted different strategies to address combating and eliminating viral hepatitis. The successful experiences of the Asia-Pacific region are valuable for other regions, especially the middle- and low-income countries moving towards the achievement of the 2030 goal of elimination.Strategi... discussed include integrated approaches, negotiating universal access to diagnostics, and treatment options, including vaccines. Content further covers the critical barriers to achieve the 2030 targets for elimination of viral hepatitis and how to overcome them. This is the perfect reference for all hepatology researchers and elimination policy advocates who are dedicated to joining the fight for the 2030 goal of the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health threat.
