Tissue-resident macrophages : Methods and protocols
Delves into the diverse techniques and applications to target, isolate, image, phenotype, and analyze tissue-resident and monocyte-derived macrophages. The contents aim to describe the current knowledge about macrophage development and function which forces the scientific field to move beyond the previously described M1/M2 macrophage paradigm to be able to dissect macrophage functions within their specific niches during health and disease.
PCR-based Detection of Brucella Species in Milk and Dairy Products from Syria Countryside as Surrogate Marker of Risk of Infection to the Urban Population
Brucellosis, also known as Malta or undulant fever, is a chronic, febrile, occupational disease caused by the Brucella bacterium. Brucella is an intracellular parasite that invades the phagocytes and causes a debilitating illness in humans that requires combined and extensive antibiotic treatment. This highly virulent stealth pathogen is transmitted by the consumption of infected, unpasteurized animal-milk products. Infection can also occur by direct contact with infected animal parts through cuts and abrasions on the skin. In animals, this pathogen causes sterility and spontaneous abortions, leading to significant economic losses to livestock production. The disease remains to be one of the most important health disorders spread worldwide and its eradication continues to be a difficult challenge.
Current Topics in Innate Immunity
This volume represents a collection of topics on natural killer cells, mast cells, phagocytes, toll like receptors, complement, host defense in plants and invertebrates, evasion strategies of microorganisms, pathophysiology, protein structures, design of therapeutics, and experimental approaches discussed during the conference.
