    Resistance in Hematologic Malignancies and Cancer brings together the molecular, cellular, and biochemical basis/principles of various mechanisms of resistance to treatment in hematologic malignancies.Even though main mechanisms of resistance are the same in different types of tumours there are specific signalling pathways involved in resistance in hematological malignancies and of course specific treatmentsIn 11 chapters, Resistance in Hematologic Malignancies and Cancer describes the development of treatment resistance in hematological malignancies, the role of MiRNA in resistance, the role of the immune system in resistance prediction, as well as the latest knowledge from clinical research.It gives insight in the complex information about different mechanisms linkage in final loss of cell sensitivity to drug treatment, the orientation in metabolic pathways that could be involved in depressed leukemia cell resistance to drugs and gives information about causes of drug resistance in leukemia cells.By the multidisciplinary approach of the processing this book is a valuable resource for both health professionals, scientists and researchers, health practitioners, students, but will also enable members of the general professional public to orientate themselves in issues that are not directly in their area of expertise

    Melissopalynology: Bee Flora, Pollen and Honey presents a comprehensive guide to the floral biology of honeybee plants. Critical for developing optimal management techniques for honey bee habitats, as well as for the growth and sustainability of the honey economy, this information is key to addressing the problem of predicting resource availability. In addition, it enables successful apiarist planning for effective hive placements and capacity, and provides crucial baseline data to direct habitat and biodiversity management. The book is globally relevant, presenting updates on the characteristics, composition, health properties, contamination, authenticity, and adulteration of honey at the worldwide level, regardless of region.The 100+ bee flora and pollen field notes and photographic atlas sections examine species found in multiple regions throughout the world. Honey has become a highly demanded product for consumers worldwide due to its taste and rich nutritional and medicinal value. However, it remains challenging to identify honey’s origin as well as determine its authenticity. This book summarizes the research and practices carried out in the last decade toward discriminating honey by using characteristic markers.

    Role of Medicinal Plants in Autoimmune Diseases: Concepts, Perspectives, and Utilization provides comprehensive knowledge of autoimmune diseases and the role of various medicinal plant products in their treatment. The book discusses the immune system as a group of complex biological structures and processes in an organism which gives protection against a wide range of pathogenic organisms while simultaneously distinguishing these pathogens from the organism’s own healthy cells and tissues, thus maintaining homeostasis in the body.It has been an age-old practice to use extracts and other parts of various plants in treating many diseases. Several plants contain various pharmacologically active substances which can be used to treat different diseases. Among these medicinal plants, many have shown good immunomodulatory properties and could act as natural immunosuppressant agents in treating autoimmune disorders.
