Immune Cells and Cytokines in Cancer

  • 1st Edition
  • July 1, 2026
  • Bhalchandra Mirlekar
  • English
“Immune Cells and Cytokines in Cancer: A Therapeutic Perspective” highlights the recent trends in the field of cancer immunology by focusing on the functions of immune cells and cytokines in the initiation and metastasis of different solid and hematological malignancies. This title illustrates the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with the immune cell-cytokines-tumor cells crosstalk axis and deciphers implications of immune cells, their receptors, and cytokines as therapeutic regimens for the treatment of cancer patients. Comprised of three sections, the book first illustrates the different immune cells involved in tumorigenesis, tumor-infiltrated immune cells, and their roles in modulating tumor contexture and growth. The second section deciphers the importance and functions of cytokines and how they modulate the tumor microenvironment by regulating immune cells associated with cancer. The final section reviews how targeting immune cells and cytokines is beneficial and discusses implications in cancer treatment. Researchers and clinicians interested in the fields of immunology, cancer biology, and oncology will benefit from this important and thorough resource.

Endotoxin in Critical Illness

  • 1st Edition

  • English
“Endotoxin in Critical Illness” intricately explores the theme of endotoxin and sepsis through the lenses of basic, clinical, and translational science. This work consolidates and synthesizes novel clinical insights and groundbreaking scientific discoveries into one comprehensive resource on endotoxic septic shock and sheds light on cutting-edge approaches in treatment. Beginning with a historical journey, the book traces the evolution of understanding from ancient concepts to modern molecular insights. It covers the physiological aspects of endotoxin sensitivity, tolerance, and human response variation. The crucial role of the gut microbiome in critical illness serves as a translational link between foundational science and clinical implications, and the complex language of bacterial communication is introduced, merging basic science with potential translational applications. In the clinical arena, chapters cover the critical role of endotoxin in septic shock, trauma, and its relevance in COVID-19, providing a translational bridge between laboratory findings and real-world clinical scenarios. The historical context of anti-endotoxin drug development is revisited, emphasizing the translational challenges faced in bridging basic science discoveries to clinical applications. The discussion on quantifying endotoxin concentration as well as the exploration of therapeutic rationale and clinical experiences with endotoxin removal therapy serve as a culmination of basic understanding translated into practical applications. The book concludes by contemplating the complexity of sepsis and acknowledging the challenges in achieving personalized medicine and underscoring the dynamic nature of the translational journey. In essence, this comprehensive exploration provides clinicians, researchers, and scientists with a holistic understanding of endotoxin and sepsis and potential advancements in patient care.

Also added is the latest information on new treatments, criteria, monogenic forms of lupus, insights on the role of microbiome, and advances in understanding disease pathogenesis. This must-have reference is an indispensable resource for specialists in the diagnosis and management of patients with SLE as well as early career or experienced investigators studying basic aspects of the disease. It is a tool for measurement of clinical activity for pharmaceutical development and basic research of the disease, and a key reference work for hospital libraries.

Encyclopedia of Immunobiology

  • 2nd Edition
  • September 1, 2025
  • Paul Kaye
  • English
The immune system is complex, multi-layered and has evolved throughout the development of invertebrate and vertebrate species to be able to sense the difference between "self" and foreign pathogens. A functioning immune system provides protection against bacterial, viral and parasitic infections; on the other hand, dysregulation of the immune system can result in a wide range of clinically important diseases including autoimmunity, allergies and inflammatory disorders. Understanding of the immune system has led to the development of a broad range of therapeutic interventions of fundamental importance to improve human health. Encyclopedia of Immunobiology covers the full range of Immunology, presenting topics in a logical, ordered way, and making extensive use of "hot links" to refer the reader to related content. The new edition is more than a simple updating of content from the original title. Fields such as immunotherapy, immunity to viral infection, vaccine development, inflammatory responses and the role of high throughput analyses are greatly expanded to reflect current and future trends in Immunology. This new edition plays a major role in bringing these concepts to the fore in a logical and coherent way, with the goal of integrating this information into the big picture.

The Immunology of the Domestic Ruminants

  • 1st Edition
  • September 1, 2025
  • Ian R Tizard
  • English
“The Immunology of the Domestic Ruminants” is a comprehensive examination of the biology of the domestic bovine immune systems. It discusses the normal functioning of the immune system in addition to its roles in resistance to infectious and parasitic diseases, as well as other pathological conditions such as chronic inflammatory and immunodeficiency diseases, making use of new data from the bovine genome project as well as any significant breed differences. Encompassing both innate and adaptive immunity, the book systematically covers both the basic and applied aspects of bovine immunology. The immunology of the major bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases of cattle are described and explained. It also thoroughly reviews bovine vaccines as well as the critical role nutrition plays on the health of the ruminant immune system. Professionals in large animal research and practice will appreciate complete information on all aspects of domestic cattle, sheep and goat immunology in one essential resource.
