Host-Pathogen Interactions: Genetics, Immunology, and Physiology (Immunology and Immune System Disorders)

The interactions between a host and parasite are one phenomena which can be observed at the genetic level. Specifically, in host parasite system there are evolutionary forces which specifically act at synonymous codon positions. In this book, it is demonstrated that host specific viral genomes can optimize codon usage to successfully parasitise their preferred host. Such mechanisms could well-explain the host specificity of some virus families and their specificity of disease transmission. In addition, the authors present some mathematical models of host-virus interaction that were developed to explore the role of various components involved in the host response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus infection identified by molecular studies. Moreover, entomopathogenic mechanisms are widely used as alternatives to chemicals for the biological control of insects. The authors examine the mechanisms of the parasite-host interaction, together with the knowledge of insect immunity, which could represent a starting point to design new strategies alternative to the use of chemical pesticides. Furthermore, tuberculosis, one of the world's oldest diseases, has currently reached a pandemic prevalence. In this book, some of the strategies employed by M. tuberculosis in order to survive within the hostile environment of the macrophage are discussed. A detailed analysis of the molecular basis of host-pathogen interactions will unravel novel mechanisms and might contribute to finding novel approaches to treat and combat tuberculosis.

Neural and Integrative Animal Physiology (Comparative Animal Physiology) (Neural & Integrative Animal Physiology)

Here is a uniquely modern approach to the study of physiological diversity that builds on the tradition established by C. Ladd Prosser's Comparative Animal Physiology. Responding to the need for a rigorously up-to-date, comprehensive survey of function and integrative systems in a variety of species, which is also easily accessible to the user, Dr. Prosser has delivered a thoroughly revised Fourth Edition in a convenient two-volume format. This carefully designed framework lets each volume zero-in on distinct aspects of comparative physiology normally studied as a whole unit. From the study of genetically replicating molecules to investigations of adaptive modulation, these two companion volumes offer an all-encompassing view of the field. With their contemporary approach, scholarly editing, flexible format, and detailed contents, Neural and Integrative Animal Physiology and Environmental and Metabolic Animal Physiology will stand together as the authoritative source in the field.

Handbook of Physiology: Section 8: Renal Physiology Volumes I and II (Handbook of Physiology Revised Edition)

This new section of the Handbook of Physiology provides a comprehensive and authoritative account of current knowledge about kidney function. The early chapters emphasize structure, and relationships between structure and function. Tissue culture and renal micropuncture are among the many techniques discussed in detail. The physiology of non-renal tissues that serve as models of tubule function, comparative physiology, and developmental aspects of kidney function are similarly discussed. Glomerular filtration and mechanisms of transport of different solutes in water at the level of plasma membranes, of renal tubules, and of the whole kidney are covered in depth. The concentrating mechanism, the regulation of kidney function, including its relation to blood pressure homeostasis, and kidney-bone interactions are also reviewed in detail. Chapters on the biochemistry and metabolism of the kidney, diuretics, and erythropoietin round off the discussion. These two volumes offer the most up-to-date, comprehensive and authoritative coverage of kidney function available. Ninety international authorities present modern concepts of renal function, including the biochemistry, cell biology, and morphology of the kidney. Experimental techniques to study renal function are given detailed treatment. The chapters span the entire range of knowledge about kidney function, from the level of the plasma membrane to whole organ function, regulation and integration of kidney function into whole body homeostasis.

Physiology: Custom-designed Chemistry: Getting past the anxiety that physiological chemistry is too hard to learn (What is physiology?) (Volume 1)

What is physiology and why should you care? Some universities have removed physiology from their curriculum, because both students and teachers felt it was too hard to learn. However, if you are among those hoping to enter a healthcare profession you will need to complete course credits in physiology. This is the first in a series of small books created to show you how to study physiology successfully. It provides the basic framework necessary for understanding physiology in general and human physiology in particular. It is written so that you can understand the information even if you have no previous exposure to scientific jargon. Most physiology courses start with a very brief introduction to chemistry. But, it is difficult for beginners to see the relevance of chemistry to the study of physiology. Chemistry in chemistry class appears different than chemistry in physiology class. In chemistry, if you want chemicals to react to each other, you either add or subtract heat. To accommodate the body?s need for a constant temperature, human physiology?s use of chemistry?s principles requires innovative design and customization. You will find here answers to the following and much more: ? How do bonds in molecules form What is that mysterious stuff called molecular energy What is water chemistry, and why is water necessary for life to exist How and why is neutral blood pH maintained What is a semi permeable membrane What is osmotic pressure and why does it matter How does hydrostatic pressure differ from osmotic pressure How can gaseous oxygen and carbon dioxide flow in opposite directions during breathing What do body fluids have to do with nerve cell function? Many authors of textbooks for physiology are overwhelmed by the amount of new information that arrives almost daily. Physiology is far from being a? finished science? For example, the complete human gene sequence was revealed in the past 15 years, and knowledge of the human immune system has evolved since 1990 from being a mysterious force to being recognized a complex sophisticated defense system. Yet, the basic principles on which physiology is established did not change. Ten years from now details about how living systems survive will surely expand exponentially, but the basic chemical framework of physiology will continue to remain the same. In these pages you will discover how closely human physiology is aligned with Earth?s environment. When you finish reading Physiology: Custom-designed Chemistry, you will know the answer to the question? What is physiology and why should you care
