Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Macrophages represent a highly dynamic cell population within the innate immune system, engaged in tissue surveillance, phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and the regulation of inflammatory and reparative processes. Their remarkable functional plasticity enables continuous adaptation to microenvironmental cues, defining a spectrum of activation states collectively described by the concept of macrophage polarization. This continuum, historically framed by the pro-inflammatory M1 and anti-inflammatory M2 profiles, encompasses a complex structural and transcriptional heterogeneity tightly linked to physiological and pathological contexts.This volume provides an integrated analysis of the physiological and pathological functions of macrophages across diverse biological systems, including embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, infection, chronic inflammation, cancer, metabolism, and neurodegenerative diseases. It examines the molecular, metabolic, and epigenetic signals that shape macrophage differentiation and function, while highlighting the intricate interactions between these cells and the immune and stromal components of the microenvironment.The book also emphasizes contemporary methodologies for exploring macrophage heterogeneity: multiparametric and mass cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics, confocal and intravital imaging, spatial proteomics, targeted metabolomics, high-resolution electron microscopy, and multi-omics integration enhanced by artificial intelligence. These complementary approaches offer new insights into the spatiotemporal dynamics of macrophages, providing avenues for therapeutic strategies based on their functional reprogramming.As a synthesis of recent advances, this work is addressed to researchers and clinicians interested in macrophage biology, plasticity, and pathophysiological impact, offering a comprehensive and critical perspective on these cells at the intersection of immunity and disease.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Members of the Nematoda phylum are invertebrate animals with the most incredible diversity on Earth after arthropods. Due to their ability to thrive in all types of habitats, in addition to the more than 25,000 species that have been identified, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 members. Their superior reproductive abilities also play an important role in their distribution. A significant portion of nematodes can cause parasitic infections with high mortality and morbidity rates, negatively affecting the health of vertebrates and invertebrates. In addition, countless species can cause significant losses in agriculture that can also affect human health. However, a large group of them also has important benefits in maintaining the ecosystem due to their free-living nature. Regulating soil colonization, combating harmful microorganisms and arthropods, and regulating soil nitrogen balance are among their positive effects.This book will mention the harmful effects of some nematodes on animal and plant health, as well as nematodes that play a role in organic control and in ensuring sustainable development in agriculture.
