Description
CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR IMMUNOLOGY 10TH ED
Book Summary
This tenth edition of the benchmark work in immunology offers rigorous, updated, and didactic content for medical students. The book presents the cellular and molecular foundations of the immune system with a renewed visual approach, integrating the latest developments on innate immunity, cancer immunotherapy, response to infections such as coronavirus, and the therapeutic use of monoclonal antibodies. It is the essential tool for understanding a key discipline in current clinical practice.
What is it about?
The work systematically develops the principles of immunology, from the basic mechanisms of innate and adaptive immunity to their clinical applications. Throughout 35 chapters, topics such as intracellular sensors of innate immunity, regulation of the immune response, germinal center formation processes, and immunodeficiency disorders are explored. Special attention is paid to the immunology of infectious diseases, including the coronavirus, and to advances in cancer immunotherapy. The illustrations, revised and improved, facilitate the understanding of complex processes, while the clinical cases and the bank of self-assessment questions allow for the application of knowledge to real-life situations.
Main Topics
- Innate immunity and its intracellular sensors
- Immunology of infectious diseases, including coronavirus
- Immunotherapy in cancer treatment
- Immunodeficiency disorders
- Regulation and transcription during germinal center formation
