Advances in Immunology, Volume 153, the latest release in a
long-established and highly respected publication, presents current
developments and comprehensive reviews in immunology, with this
volume covering Regulatory T Cells in Infection and Factor H and
Properdin and their regulation.
Stromal Signaling in Cancer, Volume 154 in the Advances in Cancer
Research series, highlights new advances in the field, with this
new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety of timely
topics surrounding cancer research. Each chapter is written by an
international board of authors.
Advances in Cancer Research, volume 153 provides a timely review of
the biology, biochemistry, and current approaches to
therapeutically target the RAS oncoprotein, the most frequently
mutated oncogene family in human cancers. 2021 saw the approval of
the first direct RAS inhibitor (sotorasib) for use in treating
non-small cell lung cancers harboring KRAS(G12C) mutations. The
successful approval and use of this drug highlights that the once
"undruggable" RAS is indeed pharmacologically tractable. This
volume provides an overview of efforts to develop additional
approaches to therapeutically target oncogenic RAS. In addition,
the reader will find excellent reviews on the history and research
efforts to understand the biochemistry and oncogenic activity of
RAS in human cancers.
Advances in Immunology, Volume 152, the latest release in a
long-established and highly respected publication, presents current
developments and comprehensive reviews in immunology, including
chapters that cover Renal diseases and the role of complement in
their pathogenesis, Factor H and Properdin and their regulation,
Complement in neuronal diseases, Complement and the brain.
Advances in Immunology, Volume 151, the latest release in a
long-established and highly respected publication, presents current
developments and comprehensive reviews in immunology.
Advances in Cancer Research, Volume 152, the latest release in this
ongoing, well-regarded serial, provides invaluable information on
the exciting and fast-moving field of cancer research.
Advances in Immunology, Volume 150, the latest release in a
long-established and highly respected publication, presents current
developments and comprehensive reviews in immunology.
Novel Approaches to Colorectal Cancer, Volume 151 in the Advances
in Cancer Research series, is composed of 11 reviews covering
state-of-the-art research relating to the etiology, diagnosis,
prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. The book's chapters
were written by recognized experts in the field, and include
sections on molecular biomarkers in diagnosis and therapy, the
interplay of diet, lifestyle, and the microbiome, early-age onset
disease, mutational signature analysis, challenges in early
detection, immunotherapy, organoid technology, the role of
epigenetic alterations, disparities in minority populations, field
carcinogenesis, and cancer as an evolutionary process. Each of
these topics provides novel insights and concepts on various
aspects of the nature of colorectal cancer, offering new
opportunities for the management of a major source of cancer
incidence and mortality.
Advances in Immunology, Volume 149, the latest release in a
long-established and highly respected publication, presents current
developments and comprehensive reviews in immunology.
Advances in Cancer Research, Volume 150, the latest release in this
ongoing series, covers the relationship(s) between autophagy and
senescence, how they are defined, and the influence of these
cellular responses on tumor dormancy and disease recurrence.
Specific sections in this new release include Autophagy and
senescence, converging roles in pathophysiology, Cellular
senescence and tumor promotion: role of the unfolded protein
response, autophagy and senescence in cancer stem cells, Targeting
the stress support network regulated by autophagy and senescence
for cancer treatment, Autophagy and PTEN in DNA damage-induced
senescence, mTOR as a senescence manipulation target: A forked
road, and more.
Mechanisms and Therapy of Liver Cancer, Volume 149, presents the
latest information on the incidence and mortality of liver cancer
research and how it has gained significant momentum because of its
direct causative association with obesity-induced fatty liver
disease. The literature on liver cancer is moving fast with
exciting, novel findings, providing new insights reflected in the
following updated chapters: Introduction and molecular
classification of HCC, Signaling Pathways in Liver Cancer, HCV and
HCC, NASH and HCC, Microbiome and Metabolic Abnormalities in HCC,
Systemic Therapy of Liver Cancer, Immunotherapy of Liver Cancer,
and Desmoplastic Tumor Microenvironment and Intrahepatic
Cholangiocarcinoma Progression: Mechanisms and Therapeutic
Implications.
Inflammation and Natural Products brings together research in the
area of the natural products and their anti-inflammatory action in
medical, nutraceutical and food products, addressing specific
chronic inflammatory diseases like cancer and the mechanistic
aspects of the mode of action of some key natural products.
Inflammation is a complicated process, driven by infection or
injury or genetic changes, which results in triggering signalling
cascades, activation of transcription factors, gene expression,
increased levels of inflammatory enzymes, and release of various
oxidants and pro-inflammatory molecules in inflammatory cells.
Excessive oxidants and inflammatory mediators have a harmful effect
on normal tissue, including toxicity, loss of barrier function,
abnormal cell proliferation, inhibiting normal function of tissues
and organs and finally leading to systemic disorders. The emerging
development of natural product formulations utilizing the unique
anti-inflammatory compounds such as polyphenols, polysaccharides,
terpenes, fatty acids, proteins and several other bioactive
components has shown notable successes. Inflammation and Natural
Products: Recent Development and Current Status provides a
comprehensive resource, ranging from detailed explanation on
inflammation to molecular docking strategies for naturally
occurring compounds with anti-inflammatory activity. It is useful
for graduate students, academic and professionals in the fields of
pharmaceutical and medical sciences and specialists from natural
product-related industries.

Sections in this new volume include chapters on histone
deacetylases as targets in autoimmune and autoinflammatory
diseases, the role of NK cell as central communicators in cancer
immunity, and the mechanism and regulation of class switch
recombination by transcriptional control element.
Advances in Immunology, Volume 147, the latest release in a
long-established and highly respected publication, presents current
developments and comprehensive reviews in immunology. Chapters in
this new release include Histone deacetylases as targets in
autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, The advancing area of the
mechanisms involved in the evolution of HIV-1 neutralizing
antibodies, T cells in latent viral infections, Communications of
dendritic cells with T cells and NK cells in cancerous tissues,
Mechanism and Regulation of Class Switch Recombination by IgH
transcriptional Control Elements, IL-2 partial agonist, Preserving
