Immunological Aspects of Preterm Birth: Phenotypes of Preterm Birth, Immune Mechanisms, and Pathway Forward bridges reproductive immunology of preterm birth to subtypes, phenotypes, and bedside prevention and treatment. The book reviews the role of the different immune mechanisms during pregnancy that lead to preterm birth, along with the fetal programming effects that are connected to maternal immune activation. In addition, it discusses immune cells and their products and cytokines and chemokines as central for the success of the pregnancy.While our knowledge on the role of immune cells and the inflammatory process in preterm birth has grown exponentially in the last 10 years, connecting basic science to clinical science and the development of new therapeutics has not progressed as rapidly. This book assists researchers in understanding the basic immunologic mechanisms and inflammatory processes associated with preterm birth and fills an urgent need for the development of therapeutics in this space.

Clinical Reproductive Immunology provides an up-to-date overview of clinical research in the field of reproductive immunology and pregnancy. With a strong focus on the use of clinical diagnostics to identify immune-related etiologies in pregnancy complications and/or failure, the book also addresses a significant informational gap by providing an overview of clinical data followed by a diagnostic algorithm at the end of each chapter. Every chapter addresses a significant information gap by providing a diagnostic algorithm that will serve to translate the findings from clinical research into a concise, stepwise guide developed with the clinical reproductive specialist in mind.This title builds nicely on the foundational Reproductive Immunology text and serves as a more concise diagnostic reference tool, addressing clinical utility and the significance of related research when developing background sections for manuscripts/literature reviews or for significant sections on grant proposals.

Mitochondrial Signaling and Regulation: Immune Responses and Diseases delves into the latest research on molecular pathophysiology mechanisms and cell signaling pathways in the pathogenesis of diseases via mitochondrial regulation. This comprehensive study underscores the importance of mitochondria in cellular processes and their role in disease development. Early chapters discuss the crucial role, regulation, and crosstalk of mitochondria, highlighting their significance in maintaining cellular health. The exploration of mitochondria mutations and mitochondria-related diseases follows, providing a detailed understanding of the genetic aspects involved.Final chapters focus on mitochondria's involvement in immune responses and allegro-inflammation, presenting the intricate connections between mitochondrial function and the immune system. The book also explores the use of biotechnology in developing new treatments and targeted therapies against mitochondrial dysfunction. This resource sets the foundation for new classifications, prevention methods, therapies, and treatments of mitochondria-related diseases, making it invaluable for scientists and researchers dedicated to this field.

Encyclopedia of Immunobiology, Second Edition, Five Volume Set covers the full range of Immunology, presenting topics logically and making extensive use of "hot links" to refer the reader to related content. The new edition is not just an update of the original title; it vastly expands fields like immunotherapy, immunity to viral infection, vaccine development, inflammatory responses, and high throughput analyses. Containing 350 chapters written by world-leading experts, this edition integrates all concepts coherently and logically to paint a comprehensive picture of the evolving field of Immunology.The immune system, complex and multi-layered, has evolved to differentiate between "self" and foreign pathogens, providing protection against infections while dysregulation can cause diseases like autoimmunity, allergies, and inflammatory disorders. This understanding has led to numerous therapeutic interventions crucial for human health improvement.

Vaccinology and Immunizations is a thorough resource on the immune system, the history of vaccines, vaccine preparation, the process of vaccine approval, and the prevention and eradication of diseases. It also includes chapters on vaccine safety and errors, and complete information on pediatric and adult immunizations. There is also discussion on elderly immunology and immunization for people who are seeking to travel abroad, as well as timely information about COVID-19.Its focus on the innate and adaptive defense systems of the body will ensure understanding of human immunity and how immunizations are effective. There is a variety of available titles related to vaccinology and immunizations, but many are now outdated. Vaccinology and Immunizations provides a new, updated resource that is widely needed, and will be welcomed by students of undergraduate, graduate and master level in vaccinology or immunology, and would also be of interest to nurses, researchers, and pharmacists.
