  • Regulatory T cells and Autoimmune Diseases

    • 1st Edition
    • Mitesh Kumar Dwivedi + 1 more
    • English
    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 Part A

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 205
    • English
    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.

  • Brains and Machines: Towards a unified Ethics of AI and Neuroscience

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 7
    • English
    Brains and Machines: Towards a unified Ethics of AI and Neuroscience provides a comprehensive overview of concepts and ethical issues at the intersection of two emerging technological trends in the 21st century: AI and neurotechnology. In line with recent advances across both fields, debates about philosophical, ethical, regulatory and social issues raised by neuroscience and AI have considerably expanded in the past decade. Yet, despite many intersections and fruitful interactions between the two scientific domains, ethical debates about neuroscience and AI have mostly moved in parallel. This volume assembles voices from various disciplines to provide a more unified view and offer novel perspectives on two complementary lines of discourse. The volume provides scientific background by outlining the state of the art of applying AI in the field of neuroscience and discussing instances where findings and debates from neuroscience provide cues and inspiration to the study of AI. Based on this background, the book then addresses conceptual frameworks, identifies ethical challenges at the intersection of neuroscience and AI, and highlights challenges and opportunities of finding common ground in interdisciplinary settings.
