Oncoimmunology
Author: Laurence Zitvogel
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319624318
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 700
Book Description
In this book, leading experts in cancer immunotherapy join forces to provide a comprehensive guide that sets out the main principles of oncoimmunology and examines the latest advances and their implications for clinical practice, focusing in particular on drugs with FDA/EMA approvals and breakthrough status. The aim is to deliver a landmark educational tool that will serve as the definitive reference for MD and PhD students while also meeting the needs of established researchers and healthcare professionals. Immunotherapy-based approaches are now inducing long-lasting clinical responses across multiple histological types of neoplasia, in previously difficult-to-treat metastatic cancers. The future challenges for oncologists are to understand and exploit the cellular and molecular components of complex immune networks, to optimize combinatorial regimens, to avoid immune-related side effects, and to plan immunomonitoring studies for biomarker discovery. The editors hope that this book will guide future and established health professionals toward the effective application of cancer immunology and immunotherapy and contribute significantly to further progress in the field.

Revealing Uncharted Biology with Single Cell Multiplex Proteomic Technologies
Author: Wendy Fantl
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 012822214X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Revealing Uncharted Biology with Single Cell Multiplex Proteomic Technologies: Applications Healthy tissues and organs rely on the precise coordination of diverse cell types, each responding to external and internal signals. Disease disrupts this coordination. Since proteins drive cellular function, analyzing their abundance and activation states in single cells helps identify key cell populations in health and disease. Bulk protein analyses mask critical differences between individual cells. Additionally, the arrangement of cells into neighborhoods through cell-cell interactions is essential for tissue function. Over the last decade, single-cell proteomic phenotyping combined with positional information has become crucial for understanding biology in health and disease. This has led to the development of multiple technology platforms, profoundly impacting fields including developmental biology, cancer biology, immunology, neuroscience, and drug discovery. This book focuses on the application of single-cell multiplex proteomic platforms to various biological systems. These platforms have proved to be essential in biomedical research, advancing our understanding of complex biological systems at the cellular level. Compelling studies where authors use these technologies to answer previously unanswerable questions are featured. Exploring this "Uncharted Biology" opens new avenues for scientific inquiry and clinical translation, covering areas including oncology, immunology, metabolomics, stem cell research, preclinical models, and translational research. The initial chapters discuss incorporating these technologies into core facilities and consortia, providing access for multiple users and integrating datasets from other omics technologies. The following chapters cover applications in diverse areas such as muscle stem cell function in skeletal muscle regeneration, metabolic regulome profiling, translational studies, developing predictive biomarkers for patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors, and pre-clinical studies of lung cancer. These applications demonstrate how advanced single cell proteomic technologies are reshaping our understanding of complex biological systems and enhancing clinical translation. Revealing Uncharted Biology with Single Cell Multiplex Proteomic Technologies: Applications highlights the transformative benefits of single-cell proteomics, offering insights into cellular mechanisms underlying health and disease and inspiring further exploration into "Uncharted Biology." It is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, and students aiming to advance biomedical science and improve therapeutic outcomes. - Provides insights into the path to success of key research articles based on Multiplex Single-Cell analysis techniques results - Contains detailed method information - Discusses strengths and limitations of techniques applied to each research domain covered - Includes discussions on the failures encountered along the research path and how to avoid them

Book Description
This book demonstrates the concept of Fourier ptychography, a new imaging technique that bypasses the resolution limit of the employed optics. In particular, it transforms the general challenge of high-throughput, high-resolution imaging from one that is coupled to the physical limitations of the optics to one that is solvable through computation. Demonstrated in a tutorial form and providing many MATLAB® simulation examples for the reader, it also discusses the experimental implementation and recent developments of Fourier ptychography. This book will be of interest to researchers and engineers learning simulation techniques for Fourier optics and the Fourier ptychography concept.

Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This book provides up-to-date and practical knowledge in all aspects of whole slide imaging (WSI) by experts in the field. This includes a historical perspective on the evolution of this technology, technical aspects of making a great whole slide image, the various applications of whole slide imaging and future applications using WSI for computer-aided diagnosis The goal is to provide practical knowledge and address knowledge gaps in this emerging field. This book is unique because it addresses an emerging area in pathology for which currently there is only limited information about the practical aspects of deploying this technology. For example, there are no established selection criteria for choosing new scanners and a knowledge base with the key information. The authors of the various chapters have years of real-world experience in selecting and implementing WSI solutions in various aspects of pathology practice. This text also discusses practical tips and pearls to address the selection of a WSI vendor, technology details, implementing this technology and provide an overview of its everyday uses in all areas of pathology. Chapters include important information on how to integrate digital slides with laboratory information system and how to streamline the “digital workflow” with the intent of saving time, saving money, reducing errors, improving efficiency and accuracy, and ultimately benefiting patient outcomes. Whole Slide Imaging: Current Applications and Future Directions is designed to present a comprehensive and state-of the-art approach to WSI within the broad area of digital pathology. It aims to give the readers a look at WSI with a deeper lens and also envision the future of pathology imaging as it pertains to WSI and associated digital innovations.
