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.

The Immunology of the Pig is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the immune systems of domestic pigs, offering an invaluable resource for researchers, veterinarians, and students in the fields of immunology, veterinary medicine, and biomedical science. This text covers both the innate and adaptive immune systems of pigs, highlighting the unique features that make them an excellent model for human immune system studies. By examining the applied immunity of pigs, including available vaccines and immune-mediated diseases, this book addresses a critical need for understanding porcine immunology in both agricultural and biomedical contexts. The book is meticulously structured to cover a wide range of topics. It begins with the evolutionary origins and domestication of pigs, providing a historical context that enriches the understanding of their immune systems. Subsequent chapters explore key aspects of porcine immunology, including piglet ontogeny, reproduction, and lactation; innate immunity; hematology; cytokine functions; antigen processing cells; and lymphoid organs. Detailed discussions on the major histocompatibility complex, innate lymphoid cells, B and T cell systems, and immunity on body surfaces offer a thorough insight into the complex mechanisms at play. Additionally, the text addresses the microbiota's role, vaccination strategies, and immunity to various bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases, rounding out a holistic view of porcine immune health.The Immunology of the Pig is an essential reference for anyone involved in veterinary science, immunology, or biomedical research. It provides a deep dive into the pig's immune system, presenting a wealth of information that is both scientifically rigorous and practically applicable. By understanding the parallels between porcine and human immune systems, researchers can leverage this knowledge to advance medical science, particularly in the areas of xenotransplantation and disease modeling. This book is a vital tool for advancing our understanding of immunology and improving health outcomes for both pigs and humans.
