Download or read book The Chemistry of Microbiomes written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st century has witnessed a complete revolution in the understanding and description of bacteria in eco- systems and microbial assemblages, and how they are regulated by complex interactions among microbes, hosts, and environments. The human organism is no longer considered a monolithic assembly of tissues, but is instead a true ecosystem composed of human cells, bacteria, fungi, algae, and viruses. As such, humans are not unlike other complex ecosystems containing microbial assemblages observed in the marine and earth environments. They all share a basic functional principle: Chemical communication is the universal language that allows such groups to properly function together. These chemical networks regulate interactions like metabolic exchange, antibiosis and symbiosis, and communication. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Chemical Sciences Roundtable organized a series of four seminars in the autumn of 2016 to explore the current advances, opportunities, and challenges toward unveiling this "chemical dark matter" and its role in the regulation and function of different ecosystems. The first three focused on specific ecosystemsâ€"earth, marine, and humanâ€"and the last on all microbiome systems. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the seminars.

Download or read book Microbial Endocrinology written by Mark Lyte and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial endocrinology represents a newly emerging interdisciplinary field that is formed by the intersection of the fields of neurobiology and microbiology. This book will introduce a new perspective to the current understanding not only of the factors that mediate the ability of microbes to cause disease, but also to the mechanisms that maintain normal homeostasis. The discovery that microbes can directly respond to neuroendocrine hormones, as evidenced by increased growth and production of virulence-associated factors, provides for a new framework with which to investigate how microorganisms interface not only with vertebrates, but also with invertebrates and even plants. The reader will learn that the neuroendocrine hormones that one most commonly associates with mammals are actually found throughout the plant, insect and microbial communities to an extent that will undoubtedly surprise many, and most importantly, how interactions between microbes and neuroendocrine hormones can influence the pathophysiology of infectious disease.
Download or read book Paying the Price written by Paul McCrone and published by King's Fund Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 143 pages.

Download or read book Functional Disorders of the Gastrointestinal Tract written by G. Krause and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant progress has been made in several areas of gastroenterology over the last two decades. The understanding of physiology of gastrointestinal tract covering motility, sensitivity, absorption, and molecular biology of gastrointestinal cancers, particularly colorectal cancer, has immensely improved. Recent years were dominated by increased public attention focused on functional bowel disorders. Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain and discomfort without clearly demonstrable organic cause leading to altered bowel habits. Since the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome is high, it represents a significant societal and economic burden. Better understanding of the function of the enteric nervous system supported by the evidence that pain and discomfort experienced by the patients is due to hypersensitivity of vagal and spinal sensory neurons allowed for selective targeting receptors expressed by the afferent neurons for therapeutic intervention. Emerging therapies for irritable bowel syndrome, such as tegaserod, alosetron and cilansetron, affect serotonergic system. including medicine, physiology and pathophysiology, medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, and molecular genetics as well as to the general public.
