Download or read book Non coding RNAs and Inter kingdom Communication written by Ana Lúcia Leitão and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a state-of-the-art compilation of articles on the role of non-coding RNAs as pivotal molecules for establishing functional relationships between different organisms. It also describes how non-coding RNA molecules can act as dynamic communication devices and how they modulate the interaction between different kingdoms. It describes examples including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and higher organisms such as protozoa that are involved in pathogenic or symbiotic interactions, and the roles of different families of non-coding RNAs within these relationships. Each chapter provides readers molecular and functional insights, breaking down the subjacent mechanisms and exploring their functional implications and future applications. More than sixty years after the foundation of the “RNA tie club” by George Gamow, new roles for non-coding RNA molecules are starting to be revealed.

Download or read book Autophagy in tumor and tumor microenvironment written by Sujit Kumar Bhutia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-24 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the paradoxical role of autophagy in tumor suppression and tumor promotion in cancer cells. Autophagy plays opposing, context-dependent roles in tumors; accordingly, strategies based on inhibiting or stimulating autophagy could offer as potential cancer therapies. The book elucidates the physiological role of autophagy in modulating cancer metastasis, which is the primary cause of cancer-associated mortality. Further, it reviews its role in the differentiation, development, and activation of multiple immune cells, and its potential applications in tumor immunotherapy. In addition, it examines the effect of epigenetic modifications of autophagy-associated genes in regulating tumor growth and therapeutic response and summarizes autophagy’s role in the development of resistance to a variety of anti-cancer drugs in cancer cells. In closing, it assesses autophagy as a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for all oncologists and researchers who wish to understand the potential role of autophagy in tumor biology.

Download or read book Malaria Transmission Biology written by Rhoel Dinglasan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The malaria parasite life cycle is complex and includes an obligatory developmental stage in its mosquito vector host. This transition from human-host to mosquito-host to human-host involves multiple developmental stages and divergent host tissues. Over the years, the research focus on the asexual stage parasites, which causes the symptoms of the disease, has transitioned towards a renewed focus on the transmission forms (or gametocytes), the only stages transmittable to the mosquito vector through ingestion of an infected blood meal. Analysis of sporozoite-liver interactions that result in the establishment of parasitic infection in the mammalian host has become an important research focus, and we now have a greater appreciation of the fascinating development of the sporozoites of the mosquito midgut wall and its travel to the salivary glands prior to inoculation into the mammalian dermis. This Research Topic embraces the full transition of the malaria parasite between its two obligatory hosts in what is termed as “malaria transmission biology”. Of note are the critical, enabling technologies and experimental systems that have been developed over the recent decade and have opened up significant new avenues for exploring the multi-stage, and multi-step processes that comprise malaria transmission biology. From uncovering that gametocyte development occurs in the bone marrow to quantifying the influence of both human host metabolism and parasite genetics on mosquito infection, it is clear that malaria transmission biology has entered an exciting era of discovery. Importantly, recent maturation of humanized liver mice and more sophisticated in vitro platforms have allowed more accurate recapitulations of the mosquito-to-skin-to-liver stages of human malaria infection. This allows both observation and study of the biological nuances of parasite vector-to-mammalian host transmission as well as interventions which can inhibit or block this stage of transmission. Paired with observations from clinical trials and the field, we can better understand exactly which parameters in which systems are most relevant for translation and biology.

Download or read book The Social Biology of Microbial Communities written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the germ theory of disease in the 19th century and extending through most of the 20th century, microbes were believed to live their lives as solitary, unicellular, disease-causing organisms . This perception stemmed from the focus of most investigators on organisms that could be grown in the laboratory as cellular monocultures, often dispersed in liquid, and under ambient conditions of temperature, lighting, and humidity. Most such inquiries were designed to identify microbial pathogens by satisfying Koch's postulates.3 This pathogen-centric approach to the study of microorganisms produced a metaphorical "war" against these microbial invaders waged with antibiotic therapies, while simultaneously obscuring the dynamic relationships that exist among and between host organisms and their associated microorganisms-only a tiny fraction of which act as pathogens. Despite their obvious importance, very little is actually known about the processes and factors that influence the assembly, function, and stability of microbial communities. Gaining this knowledge will require a seismic shift away from the study of individual microbes in isolation to inquiries into the nature of diverse and often complex microbial communities, the forces that shape them, and their relationships with other communities and organisms, including their multicellular hosts. On March 6 and 7, 2012, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) Forum on Microbial Threats hosted a public workshop to explore the emerging science of the "social biology" of microbial communities. Workshop presentations and discussions embraced a wide spectrum of topics, experimental systems, and theoretical perspectives representative of the current, multifaceted exploration of the microbial frontier. Participants discussed ecological, evolutionary, and genetic factors contributing to the assembly, function, and stability of microbial communities; how microbial communities adapt and respond to environmental stimuli; theoretical and experimental approaches to advance this nascent field; and potential applications of knowledge gained from the study of microbial communities for the improvement of human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health and toward a deeper understanding of microbial diversity and evolution. The Social Biology of Microbial Communities: Workshop Summary further explains the happenings of the workshop.
