Apoptosis and Other forms of Cell Death in the Regulation of Inflammation in Health and Disease

306 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It has long been known that the host responses to apoptosis, especially those that govern inflammation and immunity, lie at the heart of many normal physiological processes in multiple organ systems. That such responses are likely to play key roles in the pathophysiology of many disease states has become increasingly clear. The capacity of apoptosis to influence tissue microenvironments and produce systemic effects, in addition to the relevance of other cell death processes including necroptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis, has many implications for regulating inflammatory mechanisms.

This book provides a diverse exploration of molecular, cellular, and organismal responses to dying cells, and offers new perspectives on the roles of apoptosis and other cell-death programs in the regulation of inflammation in normal physiological processes and in disease states. The different chapters, written by top researchers in their respective fields, emphasize the responses to cell death and how the underlying mechanisms of cell-death programs are coupled to those responses. This is a unique and timely resource for researchers, scientists, and students in the biomedical sciences.
