    Advances in Dietary Lipids and Human Health systematically summarizes recent research advances in dietary lipids and human health. The book proposes a strategy for the prevention of NCDs and the management of population and personal health through the rational use of dietary fat. It covers the relationship between total lipids, saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and NCDs, and other uncommon fatty acids, such as conjugated fatty acids, middle and short chain fatty acid, furan fatty acids, n-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and structured fat. Intended for nutrition researchers, dieticians, clinicians and others in academia who are focused on medicine, preventive medicine, public health and food science students, this valuable reference provides information that will assist readers in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, metabolic disorders, diabetes, neuropsychiatric diseases, and cancer by specifically managing dietary lipids.

    • 1st Edition
    • Michele Conti + 1 more
    • English
    Bioprinting: From Multidisciplinary Design to Emerging Opportunities describes state-of-the-art techniques and highlights open issues of different aspects that affect the efficiency of bioprinting protocols. Starting from a description of the main bioprinting technologies, the book addresses the most advanced approaches for the design of "on-demand" biomaterials suitable for incorporating biological components, along with the challenges associated with the development of a cellular model, and with the biological read-out. Coverage includes intelligent process design techniques, emerging technologies, and specific applications. Written by a highly interdisciplinary team of authors and presenting a unified approach to bioprinting, this book is ideal for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in biotechnology, engineering, and physics, as well as industrial researchers interested in the applications of bioprinting.

  • Eosinophil Ultrastructure

    Atlas of Eosinophil Cell Biology and Pathology
    • 1st Edition
    • Rossana C.N. Melo + 2 more
    • English
    Eosinophil Ultrastructure: Atlas of Eosinophil Cell Biology and Pathology entirely focuses on eosinophils and their functional roles in inflammation, host defense, and normal homeostatic activities. The book explores the ultrastructure of human eosinophils, highlighting biological processes observed under normal, experimental, and pathological conditions. Created to fill a void in the eosinophil literature, the book includes an extensive array of electron microscopic images that illustrate the diversity of eosinophil morphology. While the atlas is a learning and teaching tool, it is mainly a helpful resource for researchers to identify distinguishing features and structural changes that arise during studies of human eosinophils. The book also covers the ultrastructure of mouse eosinophils under normal and activation conditions and in the context of representative diseases.

  • Translational Autoimmunity, Volume 4

    • English
    As the autoimmune diseases could affect different organs, Translational Autoimmunity: Autoimmune Diseases in Different Organs addresses the spectrum of autoimmune diseases. The fourth volume of Translational Immunology Series focuses on clinical and laboratory details of autoimmune diseases which are broadly categorized into two types of organ-specific autoimmune diseases and non-organ specific autoimmune diseases (also known as systemic autoimmune diseases). Autoimmune rheumatic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune rheumatic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and thyroid diseases, autoimmune neurologic diseases such as multiple sclerosis, as well as autoimmune hepatobiliary diseases, autoimmune renal diseases and autoimmune cutaneous diseases as the subject of discussion in Translational Autoimmunity: Autoimmune Diseases in Different Organs.
