    Cellular Lipid in Health and Disease presents a comprehensive and systematic coverage of the various roles lipids play in human biology. This book is organized in four parts covering the foundational concepts of lipid biology all the way to the therapeutic opportunities they present. The first part is dedicated to the basic concepts of cellular lipid, the roles it plays in the cell, structure and physiology, regulation mechanisms, storage, and utilization. The second part is focused on lipid metabolism, covering the organelles involved in lipid trafficking, metabolism in aging, cholesterol homeostasis, lipid droplets (LDs), and lipid oxidation. Part three is dedicated to the roles lipids play in specific disease states including renal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and fatty liver diseases. Other conditions include cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and the intricate relationship between cellular lipids and autophagy. The final part covers therapeutic opportunities, including drug carrier systems, modeling lipid metabolism, and prevention therapeutics. Cellular Lipid in Health and Disease is a complete reference targeted at graduate students and early career researchers in cell biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology.

  • Viral Vectors in Cancer Immunotherapy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 379
    • English
    Viral Vectors in Cancer Immunotherapy, Volume 379 in the International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology presents the latest on cancer immunotherapy and how it has transformed cancer treatment through advances in immune checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive cell therapy. Chapters in this new release include Past, present and future of viral vectors in cancer immunotherapy, Alphaviruses in cancer immunotherapy, Adenoviral-based cancer gene therapy, Armored modified vaccinia Ankara in cancer immunotherapy, Strategies of Semliki Forest virus in immuno-oncology, Maraba virus in cancer immunotherapy, Oncolytic viruses in hematological malignancies, Oncolytic virus for cancer therapies: Overview and future directions, and more. The use of genetically modified viruses allows the expression of pro-inflammatory molecules, while the immune system receives danger signals from the viruses themselves. In some cases, the virus can also induce tumor cell death. This book will review advances in virus-based cancer immunotherapy in both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

  • Techniques for Downstream process for Biologic Drugs and Vaccines

    Techniques for Downstream process for Biologic Drugs and Vaccines provides comprehensive technologies involved in processing postharvest broth to separate the target biological therapeutic products of extracellular or intercellular aspects in nature - to its highest purification form, and to thus make it acceptable to end users. The technologies involved in the post-harvesting of fermented broth are explained in this comprehensive resource in a simplified manner with different case studies to help non-engineering students and scientists easily capture the basic principle of biomass processing technologies and their applications in new projects related to the development and manufacturing of therapeutic bio-products. As conceptual development of biotechnology has taken new shape and style with the integration of medical sciences, physical science, and engineering, and has thus begun the need for the development of microbial or cell line process technology and application for large-scale isolation and purification of metabolites or vaccines through the fermentation process, this book covers the most important aspects.
