T Cell Metabolism and Cancer Immunotherapy delves into the intricate regulation of T-cell immunity and tolerance. As research advances in cell-based therapies, the potential of engineered immune cells to treat cancers and other diseases is becoming increasingly evident due to their powerful capabilities. Additionally, the book offers valuable insights into developing and optimizing strategies for bacterium-based immunotherapies. Despite great advancement in immunotherapy such as adoptive T cell transfer-based regimen, the clinical outcomes remain less satisfactory due to a variety of factors that lessen its therapeutic efficacy. By determining the role and importance of T cell metabolism in the regulation of T lymphocytes that are related to the development and managements of aberrant immunity, T Cell Metabolism and Cancer Immunotherapy designs and develops novel and more effective strategies for improving regimens for patients with aberrant immunity. Within ten chapters the content not only reveals targets of T cell metabolism as critical determinants of immune regulation, but also uncovers unique therapeutic opportunities to improve immunotherapy through targeting T cell metabolism. This fills a significant gap in the knowledge of scientists working in the field of onco-immunology/immu... and students learning about T cells, metabolism, immunomodulation, and immunotherapy.

MicroRNA Advances and Application in Plant Biology presents a broad range of tools and techniques used for microRNA identification and utilization for diversity analysis in plants, crop improvement, and gene regulation. With expert insights, this book addresses those concepts through curated chapters that are well-illustrated with informative data, tables, figures, and photographs. While biological microRNA database resources have been created for the better understanding of structural and functional properties of primary-microRNAs (pri-microRNAs) to mature microRNAs, there remains a need for foundation understanding of how microRNAs may play a very crucial role in a plant lifecycle as an regulatory and stress tolerance molecule.There are still many unanswered questions about the structural and functional properties of the microRNAs, like the role of microRNA in crop improvement, gene regulation, stress tolerance, disease resistance plant, plant communication, and environmental interaction.

Electrocardiography of Channelopathies: A Primer for the Clinical Cardiologist introduces readers to the inherited arrhythmia syndromes that are a leading cause of sudden cardiac death. As the ECG is the cornerstone of identifying inherited arrhythmia syndromes, this cutting-edge book is a critical resource to guide cardiologists in using the technology for optimum diagnosis and treatment of their patients. It clearly delineates the differences between each syndrome to improve accuracy and health outcomes. Its easy portability belies a vast knowledge base for use by clinicians in the moment as well as by researchers in the laboratory.This book illuminates diseases such as Short and Long QT Syndromes, Andersen-Tawil Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, and Early Repolarization syndrome. Electrocardiography of Channelopathies: A Primer for the Clinical Cardiologist will no doubt become a go-to reference for experienced clinicians seeking confirmation of their diagnoses, as well as those newer to the field seeking guidance in ECG interpretation.
