      Translational Autoimmunity: Etiology of Autoimmune Diseases is the first volume of the Translational Immunology book series. To attain its purpose as a detailed translational step to tackle autoimmunity, this volume sufficiently addresses basic questions on how the immune system is designed to distinguish self from nonself. It discusses the known mechanisms that lead to the maintenance of self-tolerance, presents potential triggers and malfunctions that impede normal immune processes, and demonstrates how the immune system induces an autoreactive state that results in the recognition of self-antigens seen in autoimmune conditions.

      Delivery Technologies for Immuno-Oncology: Volume 1: Delivery Strategies and Engineering Technologies in Cancer Immunotherapy examines the challenges of delivering immuno-oncology therapies. Immuno-oncology (IO) is a growing field of medicine at the interface of immunology and cancer biology leading to development of novel therapeutic approaches, such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) and immune checkpoint blockade antibodies, that are clinically approved approaches for cancer therapy. Although currently approved IO approaches have shown tremendous promise for select types of cancers, broad application of IO strategies could even further improve the clinical success, especially for diseases such as pancreatic cancer, brain tumors where the success of IO so far has been limited. Nanotechnology-based targeted delivery strategies could improve the delivery efficiency of IO agents as well as provide additional avenues for novel therapeutic and vaccination strategies. Additionally, a number of locally-administered immunogenic scaffolds and therapeutic strategies, such as the use of STING agonist, could benefit from rationally designed biomaterials and delivery approaches. Delivery Technologies for Immuno-Oncology: Volume 1: Delivery Strategies and Engineering Technologies in Cancer Immunotherapy creates a comprehensive treaty that engages the scientific and medical community who are involved in the challenges of immunology, cancer biology, and therapeutics with possible solutions from the nanotechnology and drug delivery side.

      Novena edición que ofrece una aproximación bien ilustrada y cuidadosamente estructurada que incluye todos los conceptos básicos y clínicos necesarios para la preparación de los cursos de la especialidad. La obra ha sido editada y redactada por expertos docentes e investigadores, por lo que proporciona un contenido coherente y de vanguardia que vincula el laboratorio y la práctica clínica. Presenta un contenido reorganizado que muestra la inmunología en el orden en que se suele enseñar y aprender, integrando mejor la inmunología básica y la clínica. Aborda nuevos temas, como las células linfocíticas innatas, los tratamientos basados en anticuerpos y la ingeniería de anticuerpos, la inmunidad innata y sus componentes, la genética de las enfermedades con base inmunitaria, la medicina personalizada y los fármacos inmunoterapéuticos para el tratamiento del cáncer. Con un formato fácil de usar y codificado con colores, incluye cuadros con conceptos clave, diagramas explicativos y casi 200 fotografías para ayudar a comprender y memorizar de forma visual los conceptos más difíciles. Además ofrece resúmenes de capítulo, cuadros de razonamiento crítico y preguntas basadas en casos clínicos que facilitan una revisión rápida y eficaz para la preparación de los exámenes. Explica los componentes básicos del sistema inmunitario (células, órganos y moléculas receptoras principales), así como la activación y las acciones de la respuesta inmunitaria, especialmente en el contexto clínico y proporciona la información clínica más actualizada, incluidos los más recientes abordajes clínicos de la inmunología del cáncer, el trasplante, la autoinmunidad y la hipersensibilidad, entre otros.

      Applications of Nanobiotechnology for Neglected Tropical Diseases describes recent advances in nanobiotechnology that can be applied to reducing the global disease burden of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The book explores the application of nanotechnology on the development of safe, effective, and reliable tools to prevent, diagnose, and treat NTDs. Furthermore, Applications of Nanobiotechnology for Neglected Tropical Diseases includes multidisciplinary content, combining knowledge from biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, material sciences, pharmacology, and pharmaceutics. The book is divided into three main parts, each outlining one major type of approach: (1) nano-based approaches for prevention, (2) nano-diagnostics and detection, and (3) nanotherapeutics. Each part contains chapters that delve into the different applications of the type of approach being presented in that part. A discussion of other approaches against NTD follows these three parts. This book is remarkable in its ability to encompass and thoroughly explain the latest techniques in nanobiotechnology, from basic research to patient-oriented investigation.
