      Pancreas and Beta Cell Replacement is the inaugural volume of the Regenerative and Transplant Medicine series. The idea for this new book series spawned from the observation that the regenerative medicine field is progressing at such a fast pace that the way we currently think and practice transplant medicine is rapidly changing, faster than we could ever imagine.　 This series was therefore conceived to bring together experts from both the transplant and regenerative medicine fields, to share knowledge first, but also to introduce the transplant audience to the remarkable progress that has occurred in regenerative medicine over the past few decades. At the same time, we intend to illustrate to researchers and operators in the regenerative medicine field the numerous platforms that transplant medicine offers for the application of their technologies. To the publisher and the editors of this series and volumes there is no doubt that regenerative medicine will shape and define the future of transplant medicine.　 This volume focuses on pancreas and beta cell replacement and illustrates how progress in biomaterial sciences, stem cell biology, gene editing, cell, tissue and organ bioengineering and regeneration, along with advances in xenotransplantation are revolutionizing the field. Written by the world’s experts in the fields of pancreas, islet and xenotransplantation, as well as regenerative medicine, it represents a valuable educational tool for those in the fields of clinical transplantation, researchers in the field of regenerative medicine, transplant medicine, diabetes and immunology, as well as for medical and health science students, those in academia, the biotech industry and regulatory agencies working to advance the field. At the end of the book, it will become clear to the reader that beta cell replacement offers a vast array of platforms for the application of regenerative medicine technologies to transplant medicine.

      Toxicity of Nanoparticles in Plants: An Evaluation of Cyto/Morpho-physiolo... Biochemical and Molecular Responses, Volume Five in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series, reviews the latest research on toxicological effects of using nanotechnology in plants. Key themes include analyzing plant exposure to nanomaterials, mechanisms of toxicity of nanoparticles to plants, and effects, uptake and translocation of various different nanoparticles. This will be an essential read for any scientist or researcher looking to assess and understand the potential toxicological risks associated with plant nanotechnology. To date, nanotechnology is considered one of the most promising areas of research due to the widespread applications of nanomaterials in plant science and agriculture. However, extensive use of nano-based products raises concerns regarding their toxicity in crop plants, their environmental impact and potential consequences to humans via the food chain.

      L’adolescence est une période unique de transformation de l’individu. Sur le plan somatique, psychique et social, le passage de l’enfance à l’âge adulte est aussi l’occasion de troubles spécifiques ou dont l’expression revêt des aspects particuliers. Ainsi, dans le domaine de la neurologie, cela se traduit par des prévalences plus élevées de certaines affections, ainsi qu’un retentissement singulier sur la personne. Les troubles neurologiques peuvent en effet compromettre les facultés essentielles à l’autonomisation de l’individu, et ont un impact sur l’image que donne l’ado à ses pairs.Sans équivalent, cet ouvrage se justifie donc par les particularités de la prise en charge, les troubles affectant les ados (adolescentes et adolescents) de façon très différente des enfants (qui s’en remettent aux adultes) et des adultes (plus autonomes et responsables dans leur prise en charge).Traitant à la fois des maladies dont les prévalences sont élevées et des affections plus rares, l’ouvrage aborde cette problématique dans toute sa spécificité, en ne négligeant aucune dimension particulière du diagnostic, du traitement et de la prise en charge globale du jeune patient. Chaque chapitre exposera successivement les spécificités à l’adolescence des données épidémiologiques et cliniques (mode de présentation, pièges diagnostiques), puis les principaux diagnostics rencontrés et proposera une prise en charge adaptée à cet âge. La question de la transition des troubles neurologiques de l’enfant à l’âge adulte et de l’accompagnement de l’ado dans sa vie scolaire et sociale sont également abordés.Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux neurologues, pédiatres et neuropédiatres, ainsi qu’aux étudiants déjà entrés dans la spécialité.POINTS CLÉS - Toutes les pathologies touchant les ados, des plus fréquentes aux plus rares - Les spécificités de la prise en charge de l’ado - L’accompagnement de l’ado et la transition vers l’âge adulte
