    • English
    Multimodal Deep Learning and Data-Centric Systems for Smart Healthcare and Clinical Decision Support examines how to fuse imaging, genomics, electronic health records, and wearable sensor data into clinically actionable insights. As healthcare data becomes increasingly diverse and voluminous, there is a pressing need for integrative methodologies that preserve information across modalities while maintaining interpretability and safety. Current resources either focus on single-modality AI or domain-specific applications, leaving practitioners with fragmented guidance. This volume defines a cohesive, data-centric framework for multimodal predictive diagnostics and clinical decision support, addressing methodological foundations, reproducible pipelines, and real-world translation challenges.
  • Glycobiology of the Immune System and Disease

    • 1st Edition
    • Shyamasree Ghosh + 1 more
    • English
    Glycobiology of the Immune System and Disease explores the integration of state-of-the-art glycobiology and immunology to raise awareness of the multifaceted roles of glycans and lectins in the immune system. Glycobiology is a rapidly growing field in biology, with relevance to biomedicine, biotechnology and basic research. Considering the central role that glycans play in immune interactions, glycoproteins and carbohydrates are becoming the targets of next-generation therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostics. Programmed remodeling of host glycans can modulate infection, autoimmunity, and cancer, while microbial glycoconjugates can serve as canonical innate receptor agonists that induce B cell and T cell activation. This important reference investigates microbial and mammalian glycans and their protein-binding partners (lectins) and shows the role they play in all innate and adaptive immune responses. With its comprehensive overview of the field, it is an important resource for academicians, graduate and post graduate students as well as professors and faculty in the field of research in glycobiology and immunology.
