Abstract

Biological DNA Sensor defines the meaning of DNA sensing pathways and demonstrates the importance of the innate immune responses induced by double stranded DNA (dsDNA) through its influencing functions in disease pathology and immune activity of adjuvants for vaccines. Though discussed in specific subsections of existing books, dsDNA and its immunogenic properties has never received the complete treatment given in this book. Biological DNA Sensor approaches the impact of dsDNA's immunogenicity on disease and vaccinology holistically. It paints a complete and concise pi

Abstract

The third edition of Insect Resistance Management: Biology, Economics, and Prediction expands coverage by including three new chapters on African agriculture, genetic control of pests, and fitness costs of resistance. All remaining chapters have been updated to cover key scientific findings published since 2013. The coauthors have expertise in evolutionary biology, ecology, economics, epizootiology, statistics, modeling, IPM, and genetics. The original themes demonstrating the importance of economics, IPM, pest behavior, and the behavior of humans implementing insect resistance management (IRM) are still relevant. Entomologists and others developing experiments, models, regulations, or public policy will benefit from this book that avoids reliance on dogma by analyzing and synthesizing knowledge about a wide variety of species, landscapes, and stakeholder problems.

Abstract

All living organisms are in a constant battle against their environment. Since uncontained microorganisms would simply overgrow all higher animals, the evolution of multicellular organisms required adequate and efficient defense mechanisms to protect their own integrity and to ensure their own survival. These defense mechanisms, encompassing receptor proteins that sense the presence of pathogens and effector molecules that are involved in controlling them, are the elemental parts of the innate immune system. For many species, the innate immune system is the sole active defense system. Long thought to be an unspecific immune response, the discovery of the Toll-like receptors and their ligands finally revealed just how specific the innate immune response actually is. This book wants to give an overview of our current knowledge about the innate immune system of plants, animals and humans. It not only covers the innate immune mechanisms and responses of so diverse organisms such as plants, Cnidaria, Drosophila, urochordates and zebrafish, but also the major receptor systems in mammalians and humans as well as the central defense mechanisms, antimicrobial peptides and the complement system.

Abstract

Divided into two major sections, this volume synthesizes recent findings in this fast-moving field while also reviewing accepted knowledge. The first part focuses on the antiviral signaling pathways in the host, including specific pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and how these cellular alarms signal the innate immune response. The second section examines the ways in which specific major RNA virus families interact with, activate, and elude these signaling pathways and responses.

Abstract

"Antibiotic Resistance: Mechanisms and New Antimicrobial Approaches discusses up-to-date knowledge in mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and all recent advances in fighting microbial resistance such as the applications of nanotechnology, plant products, bacteriophages, marine products, algae, insect-derived products, and other alternative methods that can be applied to fight bacterial infections. Understanding fundamental mechanisms of antibiotic resistance is a key step in the discovery of effective methods to cope with resistance. This book also discusses methods used to fight antibiotic-resistant infection based on a deep understanding of the mechanisms involved in the development of the resistance".

Abstract

This book is a continuation of the topic of “DAMPs in Human Diseases”, the basics of which were described in a first volume, and details of their role in polytrauma, solid organ injuries, atherosclerosis, and cerebrocardiovascular diseases in a second volume by the same author. The third volume presents our current understanding of the impact of DAMP-driven innate/adaptive immune responses on the etiopathogenesis of antigen-related disorders, focusing on infectious and autoimmune diseases (highlighting respiratory virus diseases such as COVID-19, bacterial sepsis, and malaria) and autoimmune diseases (emphasizing systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes), and briefly discussing allograft and tumor rejection. The detailed description and illustration of DAMP-triggered inflammatory pathways in the various chapters explain, for example, why it is the dysregulated emission of DAMPs - and not the virus or the bacterium per se- that is responsible for admitting COVID-19 or sepsis patients to the ICU for intensive care treatment. Also, the chapters on autoimmune diseases explain why, mechanistically, environmental factors make up a significant part of the risk in disease initiation and propagation. Our growing understanding of such deleterious pathogenetic functions of activating DAMPs and suppressing DAMPs (SAMPs) is used as a point of departure to explore how these molecules can be used as valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as future therapeutic targets and therapeutics. The book is written for professionals from all medical and paramedical disciplines who are interested in the introduction of innovative data from modern inflammation and immunity research into clinical practice. In this sense, the book reflects an approach to translational medicine. The readership will include all practitioners and clinicians, in particular, ICU clinicians, infectiologists, microbiologists, virologists, hematologists, rheumatologists, diabetologists, neurologists, transplantologists, oncologists, and pharmacists.
