      Glial Mechanisms in Sleep and Circadian Biology presents a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of the role of glial cells in numerous, often unexpected, aspects of sleep. It seamlessly links glial cell activity to the multi-system processes that affect sleep. Experts in the field discuss how glial cells influence the sleep-wake cycle, the accumulation and discharge of sleep drive, the timing of sleep and wake across the 24-hour day, and how glial cells may govern important sleep functions (e.g., brain plasticity and metabolism). This is a book that could well change scientists’ and practitioners’ traditional beliefs about the factors underlying sleep.Users will find the book's content at the forefront of one of the hottest topics in basic sleep research. Over the last decade, scientists have made breakthrough discoveries revealing that sleep is not only a product of neurons, but of neuronal-glial interactions.

      A massive load of commensal microbes, consisting of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, resides in the gastrointestinal tract and other mucosal surfaces which are collectively termed microbiota. Mucosal barriers including the epithelial layers and immune cells act as the frontline to strategically confine these microorganisms and prevent the entry of microbes into the body proper. Mucosal Barriers and Host-Microbiota Interplay: Dysbiosis to Barrier Dysfunction provides an in-depth exploration of mucosal barriers, including their structure and establishment, along with the consideration of different diseases and intervention strategies. This is a volume in Elsevier's new series Hot Topics in Physiology, published in association with the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUSP). It is an idea reference for those researching or studying biology and medicine, particularly gastroenterology. Biotechnological companies working on metagenomics sequencing and analysis may also find this volume useful.
