In recent years, a dedicated effort has been made to understand the immune dysfunction that is associated with major psychiatric disorders. The expanding knowledge of the immune system as a major homeostatic system has been very helpful in indicating new potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets to reduce the burden of psychiatric disorders. Indeed, immune cells, their secreted molecules, and cell signalling events are highly promising. Yet, the literature on immunology of psychiatric disorders is still dispersed, and only a few attempts have been made to consolidate the current knowledge in this expanding area. This book assembles and presents the available data on the immune/inflammator...

The implication of tumour microenvironment (TME) on cancer progression and therapeutic response has profoundly shifted the paradigms of molecular cancer research and drug discovery. The intricate networks of immune-inflammatory cells and signalling, cancer-associated fibroblasts, endothelial cells and adipose cells are extensively researched for diagnostics, therapeutics and predictive values. This includes siRNA and miRNA nanotherapeutics targeting these molecular components, owing to their powerful gene-silencing properties. Despite the concerted effort in the development of drug targeting TME, such as BLZ945 (a colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor inhibitor), there is a void in clinically satisfactory drug to target this intricate factor, thus far.
Cancer Stem Cells covers a wide range of topics in cancer stem cell biology, including the functional characteristics of cancer stem cells and how they're generated, where they are localized, the means by which cancer stem cells can be targeted, and how cancer stem cells can be reprogrammed back to normal tissue stem cells. Each chapter begins with a brief historical note and concept summary, followed by a description of the latest basic or clinical advance associated with the topic. Cancer Stem Cells builds systematically from coverage of the basic research stage to an advanced research level, from clinical relevance to therapeutic potential, and will be a valuable resource for professionals in the fields of cancer research and stem cell biology.
This book assembles and presents the available data on the immune/inflammatory dysfunction in psychiatric disorders, indicating the potential of immune mechanisms as either biomarkers or therapeutic targets, as well as discussing the challenges ahead of incorporating this knowledge into clinical practice.
