Bioactive Lipid Mediators
This book summarizes the most recent progress in the studies of lipid mediators from the molecular to clinical level and introduces newly created tools for analysis including imaging mass spectrometry. Comprising 29 chapters divided into four major parts, the book describes the molecular natures of enzymes, transporters, and receptors for lipid mediators (Part I), the function of lipid mediators in Drosophila and Zebrafish (Part II), the relationships between lipid mediators and various diseases (Part III), and detailed procedures of extraction, preparation, and quantification of lipid mediators (Part IV). Research on lipid mediators initially started with analysis of the action of aspirin, ...
Innate Immune Cell Determinants of T Cell Immunity: From Basic Mechanisms to Clinical Implications
Long-lasting T cell immunity is delivered by an array of individual T lymphocytes expressing clonally distributed and highly specific antigen receptors recognizing an almost infinite number of antigens that might enter in contact with the host. Following antigen-specific priming in lymphnodes, naïve CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes proliferate generating clones of effector cells that migrate to peripheral tissues and deliver unique antigen-specific effector functions. Moreover, a proportion of these effector lymphocytes survive as memory T cells that can be rapidly mobilized upon new exposure to the same antigen, even years after their primary induction. Innate immune cells play crucial roles in t...
Inflammation in Skin-Related Diseases
It has been revealed that inflammation plays an important role in the progression of skin-related diseases, including burn or trauma wounds, diabetes wounds, pressure ulcers, radiation ulcers, keloids, hypertrophic scars, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, etc, causing skin tissue to exhibit over-inflammation, lower inflammation, or chronic inflammation. During this process, bacteria invasion, microbiota dysbiosis, or autoimmunity are known as the general initiators to induce the abnormal activity of immune cells and molecules and could change the crosstalk between immune cells and repair cells (or interstitial cells). Therefore, the research deep into the novel mechanisms of inflammation, the new signal pathway of immunity chain responses, or the new relationship between inflammation and repair cells, is of great interest for the design of novel therapies for skin-related diseases.
Regulatory T-Cells
This volume provides methods and models for investigating the immunosuppressive subset of CD4+ T-cells, regulatory T-cells (Treg). Chapters guide readers through, basic protocols for analyzing Treg in mice and humans, single-cell analysis for analyzing Treg, and methods for the analysis of Treg in clinical application. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Regulatory T-Cells: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful and practical guide to new researchers and experts looking to expand their knowledge.

Make Life Visible
This open access book describes marked advances in imaging technology that have enabled the visualization of phenomena in ways formerly believed to be completelyimpossible. These technologies have made major contributions to the elucidation of the pathology of diseases as well as to their diagnosis and therapy. The volume presents various studies from molecular imaging to clinical imaging. It also focuses on innovative, creative, advanced research that gives full play to imaging technology inthe broad sense, while exploring cross-disciplinary areas in which individual research fields interact and pursuing the development of new techniques where they fuse together. The book is separated into ...
New Therapies and Immunological Findings in Melanoma and Other Skin Cancers
New therapies are currently being developed in the field of skin cancer. In particular, advances in melanoma now represent the frontline of cancer immunotherapy, as immunological findings in the disease have led to the development of highly effective immune-checkpoint inhibitors. However, these immune-checkpoint inhibitors are only effective in a subset of patients, and may not work in other skin cancer types, thus highlighting the need for further innovation in the field of skin cancer treatment. The purpose of this Research Topic is therefore to provide an up-to-date overview of immune processes and new therapies for melanoma and other skin cancers in order to further stimulate the development of new and even more successful treatments.
Immunology of the Skin
This book reviews the role of each cell subset in the skin, providing the basics for understanding skin immunology and the mechanisms of skin diseases. The skin is one of the immune organs and is continually exposed to foreign antigens and external stimuli that must be monitored and characterized for possible elimination. Upon exposure to foreign antigens, the skin can elicit a variety of immune responses in harmony with skin components that include keratinocytes, dendritic cell subsets, mast cells, basophils, fibroblasts, macrophages, gamma-delta T cells, neutrophils, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, vascular and lymphatic cells, hair follicles, platelets, and adipose tissues, among others...
