Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2023 PROSE Award for Excellence in Biological and Life Sciences and the 2023 Chautauqua Prize! Named a New York Times Notable Book and a Best Book of the Year by The Economist, Oprah Daily, BookPage, Book Riot, the New York Public Library, and more! In The Song of the Cell, the extraordinary author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning The Emperor of All Maladies and the #1 New York Times bestseller The Gene “blends cutting-edge research, impeccable scholarship, intrepid reporting, and gorgeous prose into an encyclopedic study that reads like a literary page-turner” (Oprah Daily). Mukherjee begins this magnificent story in the late 1600s, when a distinguished English polymath, Robert Hooke, and an eccentric Dutch cloth-merchant, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek looked down their handmade microscopes. What they saw introduced a radical concept that swept through biology and medicine, touching virtually every aspect of the two sciences, and altering both forever. It was the fact that complex living organisms are assemblages of tiny, self-contained, self-regulating units. Our organs, our physiology, our selves—hearts, blood, brains—are built from these compartments. Hooke christened them “cells.” The discovery of cells—and the reframing of the human body as a cellular ecosystem—announced the birth of a new kind of medicine based on the therapeutic manipulations of cells. A hip fracture, a cardiac arrest, Alzheimer’s dementia, AIDS, pneumonia, lung cancer, kidney failure, arthritis, COVID pneumonia—all could be reconceived as the results of cells, or systems of cells, functioning abnormally. And all could be perceived as loci of cellular therapies. Filled with writing so vivid, lucid, and suspenseful that complex science becomes thrilling, The Song of the Cell tells the story of how scientists discovered cells, began to understand them, and are now using that knowledge to create new humans. Told in six parts, and laced with Mukherjee’s own experience as a researcher, a doctor, and a prolific reader, The Song of the Cell is both panoramic and intimate—a masterpiece on what it means to be human. “In an account both lyrical and capacious, Mukherjee takes us through an evolution of human understanding: from the seventeenth-century discovery that humans are made up of cells to our cutting-edge technologies for manipulating and deploying cells for therapeutic purposes” (The New Yorker).

Download or read book The Lives of a Cell written by Lewis Thomas and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1978-02-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elegant, suggestive, and clarifying, Lewis Thomas's profoundly humane vision explores the world around us and examines the complex interdependence of all things. Extending beyond the usual limitations of biological science and into a vast and wondrous world of hidden relationships, this provocative book explores in personal, poetic essays to topics such as computers, germs, language, music, death, insects, and medicine. Lewis Thomas writes, "Once you have become permanently startled, as I am, by the realization that we are a social species, you tend to keep an eye out for the pieces of evidence that this is, by and large, good for us."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cross in the Cell: Conversations With a Prisoner While Awaiting His Execution This was a notice to me, perhaps, that any allusion to guilt and to disclosure of it would not be acceptable. Yet I had come to talk with a guilty man, a man who in sixty days was to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, with the entire acquiescence of the community. While the language of gentlemen of the bar on either side of a criminal trial is not expected to be taken as a dispassionate and disinterested representation of an accused person, a quota tion from it in this case will let the reader see the impressions which the charges against the prisoner would justly make upon the minds of those who believed him guilty. This quotation, it is not assuming too much to say, expresses the general conviction made by the trial; indeed.

This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional CD8+ and CD4+ T cells recognize antigens, presented by antigen-presenting cells in the form of short peptides loaded onto major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules, through their T cell receptor (TCR). Somatic gene rearrangement of the TCR locus and randomization of TCR hyper-variable regions generate the marked diversity of TCRs. Once assembled, the heterodimeric TCR confers specificity to naïve T cells. The naïve T cell repertoire of an individual is established by selection processes in the thymus and cannot be broadened upon antigen recognition by additional somatic mutations. In humans, the estimated number of distinct TCRs in the naïve T cell pool is several orders of magnitude lower than the possible array of peptides that can be generated and accommodated into an MHC molecule. This challenge can be overcome by T cell cross-reactivity, that is the ability of a single TCR to bind multiple peptide-MHC complexes. T-cell cross-reactivity can have both positive and negative consequences. First, it allows for covering a wide range of foreign peptides with a limited repertoire of T cells. Second, it facilitates polyclonal immune responses to a single peptide and increases resistance to escape mutations. Third, it can induce heterologous immunity, that is the generation of memory to a pathogen different from the one against which the immune response has been originally raised. On the contrary, a negative consequence of T-cell cross-reactivity is the possibility of self-antigen recognition, potentially causing autoimmunity. The lower activation threshold of memory T-cells compared to naïve T-cells increases this risk, partially eluding the thymic negative selection checkpoint. Moreover, heterologous immunity can be detrimental when the type of memory T-cell polarization induced by the first pathogen is inappropriate to control the second pathogen.
