Описание: Natural Killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes of the innate immune system. They are widespread throughout the body, being present in both lymphoid organs and non-lymphoid peripheral tissues. NK cells are involved in direct innate immune reactions against viruses, bacteria, parasites and other triggers of pathology, such as malignant transformation, all of which cause stress in affected cells. Importantly, NK cells also link the innate and adaptive immune responses, contributing to the initiation of adaptive immune responses and executing adaptive responses using the CD16 FcgRIIIA immunoglobulin Fc receptor. Such responses are mediated through two major effector functions, the direct cytolysis of target cells and the production of cytokines and chemokines. The authors focus here on the nature of recognition events by NK cells and address how these events are integrated to trigger these distinct and graded effector functions.

Описание: This book provides an update on sigma receptors, and summarizes recent advances in the medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology of sigma receptors. It describes the functional effects mediated by these receptors and the potential clinical implications of these actions. This information is put in a historical perspective to help newcomers to the field successfully navigate the confusing early history surrounding these proteins, and provides a launching point from which future studies and research directions can easily be developed. Major advances in our understanding of sigma receptors have been made during the past few years. This book will facilitate exciting new research that could lead to significant advances in the treatment of neurologic, psychiatric, cardiovascular, immunologic, and gastrointestinal disorders through a better understanding of sigma receptors.
