Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Third Annual Symposium on Health Sciences attracted over 400 scientists from 15 countries. It was held at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. The theme of this meeting was "Thymic Hormones and Lymphokines: Basic Chem istry and Clinical Applications." The meeting emphasized the state of the art with regard to chemistry, mech anism of action, and clinical applications of thymic hormones and lymphokines. In addition to the five sessions, the chairmen of each session were asked to prepare a synthesis and overview of each of the sessions. Some of the chairmen used this time to summarize the new material presented while others addressed important areas of conflict and terminology. The chairmen of the plenary sessions prepared short summary papers which have been incorporated into this volume at the end of each major section. We also invited several of the scientists who took part in the poster presentations to submit short papers. In addition to the scientific sessions, there were two awards and lectures. One, the Abraham White Distinguished Science Award, was given to Dr. Robert C. Gallo, who gave the keynote lecture. He was recognized for his pioneering research and scientific contributions to our understanding of the regulation of hematopoietic cell differentiation and the role of viruses in the development of human leukemias.
Download or read book Immunoregulatory Role of Thymus written by Marek P. Dabrowski and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990. This important new text covers a wide area of thymology in both the theoretical and practical aspects. In view of current information, a crucial role of endocrine thymus is presented in the creation, maintenance, and senescence of neuro-endocrine-immune homeostasis. In particular, mechanisms are described (which are basically responsible for the T cell maturation and selection) for the hierarchic organization of the immune system and its thymic dependent immune competence in terms of tolerance and immunity. A detailed presentation of the structure and biological properties of a number of well-defined thymic hormones is included. Their clinical applications and results obtained in inherited or acquired immunodeficiencies and in neoplasmic diseases are also reviewed on the grounds of numerous representative clinical trials. A perspective and potential scope of immunorestorative therapy and prevention with thymic hormones and other thymomimetic drugs are outlined. Researchers, practitioners, and students will find this book to be a useful and essential source of information.

Book excerpt: Hormones provides a comprehensive treatment of human hormones viewed in the light of modern theories of hormone action and in the context of current understanding of subcellular and cellular architecture and classical organ physiology. The book begins with discussions of the first principles of hormone action and the seven classes of steroid hormones and their chemistry, biosynthesis, and metabolism. These are followed by separate chapters that address either a classical endocrine system, e.g., hypothalamic hormones, posterior pituitary hormones, anterior pituitary hormones, ,thyroid hormones, pancreatic hormones, gastrointestinal hormones, calcium regulating hormones, adrenal corticoids, hormones of the adrenal medulla, androgens, estrogens and progestins, and pregnancy and lactation hormones; or newer domains of hormone action which are essential to a comprehensive understanding of hormone action, including prostaglandins, thymus hormones, and pineal hormones. The book concludes with a presentation of hormones of the future, i.e., cell growth factors. This book is intended for use by first-year medical students, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates in the biological sciences. It is also hoped that this book will fill the void that exists for resource materials for teaching cellular and molecular endocrinology and that it will be employed as an equal partner with most standard biochemistry textbooks to provide a comprehensive and balanced coverage of this realm of biology.
Download or read book Hormones Neurotransmitters and T Cell Development in Health and Disease written by Wilson Savino and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thymus physiology and T-cell homeostasis are controlled by hormones, neurotransmitters, cytokines and other factors that modulate stromal-cell interactions, influence thymocyte development and selection processes, survival and migration, between others. In the context of this Research Topic on “Hormones, Neurotransmitters, and T cell development in Health and Disease”, authors discuss the control of thymus physiology by glucocorticoids (GC), growth hormone (GH) and sex hormones, norepinephrine (NE) and other molecules that seem impact upon thymocyte/microenvironmental interactions, like galectin-3 (Gal-3) ephrins (Eph), extracellular matrix proteins and integrins (like VLA-5). Moreover, some of them draw attention to about how diverse maturation steps and/or the interactions between stromal and thymocytes can be affected in pathological states like diabetes or infections. As shown schematically in the figure, this topic highlight the following notions: 1) GH shows counterregulatory effects against GC rather than influence directly T cell homeostasis; 2) Interactions between sex hormones and noradrenergic secretion may influence thymus homeostasis and involution; 3) Gal-3 are crucial to thymocyte-stromal cell interactions and influence thymic architecture. Moreover, Gal-3 seem to be involved in the regulation of steroidogenic pathway; 4) Ephrins are crucial to assembly the thymic connections between thymocytes and the epithelial network, but have a relative importance in supporting normal thymopoyesis; 5) Pathologic situations like diabetes, or infectious diseases caused by parasites or bacteria alters the normal development of T-lymphocytes and might influence tolerance process.

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our work began where the greatest classical morphologists left off; their best work was the start of ours. As our work progressed, the rigidity of basic, previous embryological principles was broken down as scientific knowledge advanced. At the same time, the molecular, biological characterization of the cell surface receptor systems progressed enormously with the invention of NUMEROUS monoclonal antibodies. Thus, thymology became once again very important because the thymus is the first and central organ of the human immunological system. Then, the question of immuno-neuroendocrine regulation arose and has only been partially answered. Our book seeks to explore what has not been explored. The topic of thymic epithelial cells is a unique one and has never been explored in any previous book as it is explored in this one. Only a handful of great thymologists remain in the world today, especially after the great loss the medical community suffered with the passing of Dr. Good, the list includes but is not limited to: Dr. Ritter and Dr. Kendall in England, Dr. Savino in Brazil, Dr. Dardenne in France, Dr. von Gaudecker in Germany, a few others in Belgium and Holland, and it is our hope that Dr. Bodey is among them. Nonetheless, a book on the thymus has not been written in the last five years and a book such as this one has never been. This book is based on a 30-year period of research and includes references from a broad range of sources spanning the globe and all sources, even those that were the beginning of thymic research. The book, thus, is uniquely well rounded, more so that previous works.
