Our current understanding of a/~ T cell receptor (TCR) ex­ pressing T cells advanced from function and specificity to the molecular organization ofthe TCR.We now know that the TCR a and ~ chains together express specificity for...

Fungal diseases have been with us from antiquity; interest in the chemo­ therapy of fungal disease has exploded in the past decade. To plan and pro­ duce a book on the topic of antifungal chemotherapy has come as a personal...

Bluetongue viruses (BTV) cause diseases that have serious economic consequences in ruminants (sheep, cattle) in many parts of the world. The incidence of bluetongue disease affects the international movement of animals and germ...

Research in diabetes has accelerated in two areas, both of which are being reviewed in CTMI. The first is the use of a variety of animal models; the second is basic research in human investigation, islet cell antigens, and...

Among the first diseases for which a viral etiology was esta­ blished were tumors, lymphomas, and sarcomas in chickens, shown by Ellermann and Bang (1908) and Rous (1910) to be transmissible with cell-free filtrates. The broad...

Due to the topology and structure of the lymph nodes, their role in the pathogenesis and development of diseases is a very special one. Each organ and even each organ-related region of the body has its own group of lymph nodes,...

Almost all known tumors and tumor-like conditions of the fe- male lower genital tract are classified in this complete mo- nograph on the subject. Clinical features, treatment and prognosis ar included, making this book a ...

New techniques make it possible for investigators to examine and sometimes quantify various aspects of nuclear morphology and function; now they can derive clinically and biologically useful information about the nucleus. This...

Oral immunization has a fascinating and frequently successful history, yet it has been largely overshadowed by other immunization methods. Various vaccines that lead to the induction of antibodies in respiratory, ...

The clinical application of anorectal manometry was pioneered by pediatric sur­ geons. Swenson in 1949 reported that the aganglionic bowel of patients with Hirsch­ sprung's disease did not show any propulsive movements. In 1967...

Postreplicative methylation of bacterial DNA has long been known to be the molecular basis of" modification," which protects DNA against destruction by restriction endonucleases. More recently, another function of DNA ...

Der Versuch, die "Pathologie der Muskulatur" als einzelner Autor darzustel­ len, mag vermessen erscheinen. Doch sind einem einbandigen Werk ohnehin aus redaktionellen Griinden Grenzen gesetzt. AuBerdem sind die pathologischen...

Die A. vertebraIis scheint eines der am wenigsten erforschten Gebiete des menschIichen Organismus zu sein. Diese zuniichst rein personli­ che Vermutung wurde zur GewiBheit in den gemeinsamen Erorterun­ gen durch Vertreter der...

Auf dem Gebiet der Oralpathologie sind durch die Einbeziehung moderner Methoden der allgemeinen Pathologie in die Forschungsprojekte und in die praktische Routinediagnostik entscheidende Fortschritte erzielt worden. ...

I am delighted to be able to write the foreword for this new book on Helicobacter pylori by three pioneers in the field, Vlf West­ blom, Steven Czinn and John Nedrud. Because of their long experience in both basic and clinical...

Mucosal immunity encompasses a broad field of research that includes areas of epithelial cell and molecular biology, molecular and cellular immunology, microbiology, virology, and vaccinology. This volume presents up to date...

Diese step-by-step-Anleitung bietet eine fundierte Basis für die Diagnose und Differentialdiagnose der makroskopisch erkennbaren Organerkrankungen. Leitsymptome, Flußdiagramme und die Skizzierung charakteristischer Strukturen...

Nature helps... of course at first itself by developing measures that give bacteria, fungi, plants and animals a chance to be successful in their struggle for life. As a latecomer on Earth, Homo sapiens was gifted with some droplets of the divine spirit...

The study of viruses necessarily involves dissecting the intimate details of cellular pathways. Viruses have often been employed as tools in studying cellular pathways, as was done by early retrovirologists such as Peyton Rous...

An Overview of the Molecular Mechanism of Autophagy.- Macroautophagy Signaling and Regulation.- Physiological Functions of Autophagy.- Autophagy and Lymphocyte Homeostasis.- Autophagy and Innate Recognition Systems.- Autophagy in MHC Class II...

There is a high demand for antimicrobials for the treatment of new and emerging microbial diseases. In particular, microbes developing multidrug resistance have created a pressing need to search for a new generation of antimicrobial agents, which are...

Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms that are closely related to humans at cellular level. Human fungal pathogens belong to various classes of fungi, mainly zygo- cetes, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, and deuteromycetes. In recent...

Pathology and Pathobiology of Rheumatic Diseases glows with the uncommon precision of the pathologist, the clarity of the tea­ cher, and the unswerving commitment of the investigator. Fass­ bender has produced a major ...

Diagnostic paleoradiology is the use of X-ray studies to detect ancient diseases. The broad range of themes and imaging techniques in this volume reflects four decades of research undertaken by Don Brothwell in anthropology, human paleopathology, and...

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Biologie - Mikrobiologie, Molekularbiologie, Note: 1,3, Universität Potsdam (Robert Koch-Institut), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Xenotransplantation vom Schwein auf den Menschen ist mit dem Risiko der...

Every cell has developed mechanisms to respond to changes in its environment and to adapt its growth and metabolism to unfavorable conditions. The unicellular eukaryote yeast has long proven as a particularly useful model...

The pathophysiology of sepsis can be regarded as a series of steps, beginning with the invasion of normally sterile tissue by microbes and the elaboration of various pro-inflammatory mediators. The final common pathway is often...

General Part.- Definition of the Sentinel Lymph Node and Basic Principles of Detection.- Main Techniques of Sentinel Lymph Node Labeling.- Different Aspects Dependent on Type and Localization of the Primary.- Basic Strategies in Sentinel Node Detection...

Negative-strand RNA viruses, so named because of the polarity of their genomic RNA to mRNA, include important human and non-human pathogens. This volume covers major advances in reverse genetics techniques over the past decade,...

Over the past 10 years, work on acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has become the paradigm of translational research that began with the discovery of a recurrent chromosomal translocation, followed by the identification of the...
