Taurine 8 represents the combined efforts of investigators on the
roles of the amino acid taurine on human health and disease. The
chapters covered in this book are directly derived from
presentations of the contributors at the 18th International Taurine
Meeting held in Marrakech, Morocco in April 2012. The purpose of
this book is to disseminate current findings on taurine's
contribution in several organ systems. This book covers the
following topics: Taurine in the Nervous System, Taurine in the
Immune System, Taurine and Diabetes, and Taurine and the
Cardiovascular System. Dr. Abdeslem El Idrissi, College of Staten
Island and Dr. William L'Amoreaux, College of Staten Island, were
co-chairs of the Organizing Committee for the meeting. Data
presented at this meeting provided compelling evidence that taurine
is not only cytoprotective in cardiomyocytes, but also is a potent
GABA agonist, whereby it can facilitate vasodilation of conducting
arteries. Taurine conjugates, such as taurine chloramine, may
protect cells from oxidative stress via increased HO-1 expression.
In adult rodents, taurine has a potent effect on plasma glucose
levels, likely through the release of insulin in pancreatic beta
cells. As a potential neurotransmitter, taurine is known to work
via the GABAergic system, but current research presented at this
meeting suggest that taurine may interact with glutamate and
serotonin receptors as well. Data are also presented to demonstrate
the protective roles of taurine on neurons in neuroblastoma.
Perhaps the most important and exciting presentation is the role of
taurine and alcohol: the combination may be lethal. Data are also
presented at this meeting of the potential role taurine may have as
an adjuvant treatment with cisplatin in chemotherapy.

This book brings together the exciting new findings that will bring
us closer to a better understanding of the alterations of neuronal
connectivity in autistic brains. This volume authoritatively
covers the epidemiology, physiology, neurodevelopment,
genetics, environmental influences, imaging studies, neuroanatomy,
and neurochemistry of autism spectrum disorders. While the
neurobiology of autism is still a long way from being understood,
this book posits techniques, such as using brain imaging to find
signatures in early days of life, that could help move the
diagnosis and help identify neural pathways. Understanding
these mechanisms opens the possibility to pharmacological,
behavioral, and psychosocial therapeutic interventions. With
contributions from the leading international autism researchers,
Neurobiology of Autism Spectrum Disorders is the go-to reference
for researchers and clinicians with an interest in understanding
the underlying neurobiology of autism spectrum disorders.Â
This volume gathers a selection of original articles and reviews on
timely topics about the application of Taurine in human health
written by members of the International Taurine Society, including
COVID-19, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, among others.
Chapters are written by Taurine experts across the globe in North
and South America, Asia, and Europe. A majority of the articles are
based on original studies recently carried out in individual
laboratories worldwide. The book is divided into eight parts, each
covering a unique aspect of Taurine. Each section will highlight
new research findings on Taurine and its application in various
human systems, including the nervous system, immune system, and
cardiovascular system, to combat disease. The first section covers
COVID-19, the dominant health event of 2020. Experts will explore
and clarify the potential therapeutic effectiveness of Taurine
against COVID-19. The volume will promote further research into the
application of Taurine in human health, and will be of use to a
wide audience, including basic and clinical scientists,
pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies, and libraries.
