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. This book looks at social movements and actions that influenced outcomes. Expert researchers make their voices heard: they examine changes in education for kindergarten teachers in the Czech lands and Slovakia between the 1890s and 1990. One chapter is looking at Portugal and how stereotyping and discrimination of Muslims and Romani people have changed after more than half a Millenium. The theory of intersectionality is inverted by early-career researchers, who warn that existing structures within European universities impede their innovation and creativity. Another chapter examines anti-Apartheid struggles and post-1994 service-delivery processes, and the authors highlight the importance of social movements in driving societal change. There are two chapters from Australia; one addresses the failed 2023 referendum on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples seeking to establish a permanent advisory body, a Voice to Parliament and the Executive Government, to reduce Indigenous disadvantage. The other one deals with South Australia, German immigrants, and club membership: ten clubs were created but disappeared; they were the buffer zones in the 1950s and 1960s, when people needed support to come to terms with life in a country whose language they did not speak and whose expectations were not easy to understand.This book welcomes the reader into an ever-changing world.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Statins are aromatic cyclic chemical compounds. Statins inhibit cholesterol synthesis by inactivating the enzyme that catalyzes this process, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. In recent years, high doses of statins, along with chemotherapies and other combination therapies such as radiation, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and antioxidant therapies, have proven highly effective in fighting cancer.The book serves as a bridge between statin-induced biochemical and metabolic transformations, from cholesterol lowering to mitigate apoptosis, proliferation, autophagy, senescence, immune response, and metastasis, as a magical option in cancer prevention. The book presents concepts, the current state of the art, new options for statin-based nanoformulations, CART cell therapy, and statin-in-combination adjunct therapies as potential cancer nanomedicines for researchers, medical professionals, the pharmaceutical industry, and academicians.The book advocates the concept of Triple modal statin-in-combination cancer treatment based on the fact that statins elevate the oxygen utilization and mitigate the cardiovascular damage caused by cancer. The possible triple modal therapies include low-dose statins given with chemodrugs, radiation, targeted therapy, and CAR T-cell therapy.The statins do have a significant influence on sex-dependent mechanisms of cancer prevention in diabetes patients. The testosterone hormone in males and progesterone hormone in females have specific roles in cardiac prevention, reduced cardiac toxicity, and cancer treatment, specifically breast cancer in diabetic females and prostate cancer in males.The readers will experience the contents in the present book as quick learners with awareness of the inconclusive, controversial, but high-potential statins given to female and male cancer patients with secondary problems of diabetes, old age, drug-resistance, recurrence among patients showing poor patient and clinical outcomes.
