Hormones, Neurotransmitters, and T-Cell Development in Health and Disease

Thymus physiology and T-cell homeostasis are controlled by hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines and other factors that modulate stromal-cell interactions, influence thymocyte development and selection processes, survival and migration, between others. In the context of this Research Topic on “Hormones, Neurotransmitters, and T cell development in Health and Disease”, authors discuss the control of thymus physiology by glucocorticoids (GC), growth hormone (GH) and sex hormones, norepinephrine (NE) and other molecules that seem impact upon thymocyte/microenvironmental interactions, like galectin-3 (Gal-3) ephrins (Eph), extracellular matrix proteins and integrins (like VLA-5). Moreover, ...

Dreams of Development

Dreams of Development explores the relationship between higher education and Colombian national development by tracing the history of one of Colombia's most important institutions of higher education, the National School of Mines (Escuela Nacional de Minas) of Medellin. Murray addresses three questions: How did the Escuela form national elites, including politicians, businesspeople, and technocrats destined to play prominent roles in industry and government after 1900? To what extent have such elites shaped the development process? And finally, how has the Escuela's evolution reflected such changes in Colombian society as the rise of an urban middle sector and more active roles for women seeking the opportunities associated with an engineering degree? Murray's analysis of a single institution makes this book valuable both to Colombianists and to other scholars interested in the development of modern Latin American higher education. It also provides unique insight into the positivistic ideals and values that have shaped Colombian and other Latin American elites and dictated the destiny of their countries.

Practical Realist Philosophy of Science

The Estonian philosopher of science Rein Vihalemm (1938–2015) left two prominent and fruitful philosophical-methodological legacies that continue to captivate philosophers of science: a methodological distinction of scientific disciplines and the practical realist philosophy of science. Edited by Ave Mets, Endla Lõhkivi, Peeter Müürsepp, and Jaana Eigi-Watkin, Practical Realist Philosophy of Science: Reflecting on Rein Vihalemm's Ideas explores some of these fruits that have sprung from philosophy of science, and the applications of those approaches through three main ideas: (back)grounds of the practical approach, metaphysics of practices, and special sciences. The first part features ...
