      Regulatory T Cells and Autoimmune Diseases addresses recent findings concerning the role of Tregs in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases as well as their therapeutic applications. In particular, this book deals with various Treg-based mechanisms that can lead to autoimmune disease and covers different aspects linking Tregs with autoimmune mechanisms involved in disease development by discussing animal models and human studies.This book specifically focuses on Treg-based therapeutics and their targets to manage all known autoimmune rheumatic, central nervous system, bowel, liver, thyroid, kidney, myopathic, skin, blood and blood vessel, and eye diseases and aims to provide a must-have reference for designing therapeutic strategies to treat these autoimmune diseases. Additionally, this book covers vaccine-induced effects on the functioning of Tregs and development of CAR Treg therapy for autoimmune diseases and concludes with current challenges and future prospects of Treg-based therapeutics. This book is carefully designed to meet the requirements of both basic and advanced researchers in the area and provide new dimensions and insight into regulatory T cells’ role in autoimmune disease pathogenesis and therapy.

      New approach for drug repurposing represents drug discovery and development which is a tedious process that requires 10-15 years of time, investments up to $1-2 billion, and have high risk of failure to enter into market for clinical applications. As the drugs has to pass through number of developmental phase, the likelihood for a drug to be approved from phase I clinical trial to United States of Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approval is less than 10%. More than 90% of drugs failed in due to toxicity, efficacy and clinical trials. Drug repurposing is one of the roadway to accelerating drug discovery and development for treating disease and thus to providing better quality of life. This volume covers an overview of drug repurposing, novel methods, mechanism of action, lab on chip for drug repurposing, computational biology, system biology, artificial intelligence and machine learning for drug repurposing, target identification, target mining, high throughput drug screening, clinical trial of repurposed drug, repurposed biologics, and regulatory consideration and intellectual property right of repurposed drug. This volume highlights a number of aspects of the drug repurposing that can help the basic understanding of students, researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders to perform their research with great interest.

      Artificial intelligence in healthcare has become one of the best assisting techniques for clinicians in proper diagnosis and surgery. In biomedical applications, artificial intelligence algorithms are explored for bio-signals, such as electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG), blood pressure, heart rate, and nerve conduction, and for bio-imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Advancements in artificial intelligence and big data have increased the development of innovative medical devices in healthcare applications. Advances in Artificial Intelligence: Biomedical Engineering Applications in Signals and Imaging provides an overview of arti­ficial intelligence in biomedical applications, including both bio-signals and bio-imaging modalities. The chapters contain a mathematical formulation of algorithms and their applications in the biomedical ­ eld, including case studies. Biomedical engineers, advanced students, and researchers can use this book to apply their knowledge in artificial intelligence-based processes to biological signals, implement mathematical models and advanced algorithms, and develop AI-based medical devices.

      Pharmacology in Drug Discovery and Development: Understanding Drug Response, Third Edition is an introductory resource that illustrates how pharmacology can be used to furnish the tools necessary to analyze different drug behavior and trace this behavior to its root cause or molecular mechanism of action. Chapters logically build upon one another to show how to characterize the pharmacology of any given molecule and allow for more informed predictions of drug effects in all biological systems. New chapters are dedicated to the interdisciplinary drug discovery environment in both industry and academia, and special techniques involved in new drug screening and lead optimization.The updates to the Third Edition include a new section converting “descriptive” data into “predictive” data through comparison to mathematical models, expansion on enzymes, drug metabolites and drug–drug interactions, and two new chapters. The newly developed companion website hosts further educational resources to complement the book. As in previous editions, this new edition includes numerous valuable chapter summaries, detailed references, practical examples, and case studies throughout.

      Engineering Analysis: Advanced Mathematical Methods for Engineers introduces graduate engineering students to the fundamental but advanced mathematics tools used in engineering application, especially in mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineering. Most engineering problems are described by differential equations, particularly partial differential equations (PDEs). Deformation and failure in solid structures, fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass diffusion are all governed by PDEs in general. Many physical quantities in engineering are tensors, including deformation gradient, strain rates, stresses, elastic stiffness, and thermal conductivity of composite materials. This book helps engineering graduate students develop the skills to establish the mathematical models of engineering problems and to solve the problems described by the mathematical models.
