The central thesis of this text is that the immune system exists to protect its host from infection and that its evolutionary history was shaped by this challenge. The first part summarises the basic immunological concepts, the middle three parts deal with main aspects of adaptive immunity, while the final part integrates the material at the level of the complete organism in both health and disease.

Immunobiology, Sixth Edition guides the reader through the immune system in all its aspects - from the first engagement of innate immunity to the generation of the adaptive immune response and its clinical consequences. The Sixth Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, and now includes end-of-chapter questions. Immunobiology sets the standard for currency and authority with its clear writing style and organization, full-color art program, scientific accuracy, frequent updates, and consistent viewpoint - that of the host's interaction with an environment containing many species of potentially harmful microorganisms.

Product Description When the cosmic tumblers click into place and the universe opens its vault, miracles can happen. Inspired by his dying father’s dream of hiking the Appalachian Trail, Paul Travers hits the trail and finds that miracle in the healing power of America’s sacred mountains.Dancing with the Mountains: Alzheimer’s, Angels, and the Appalachian Trail: A Journey of Spirit chronicles Paul’s hike to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association and prove that sixty is the new forty. More than a travelogue, it is a love story about fathers and sons, families battling Alzheimer’s, and the people and places along the Appalachian Trail. Sprinkled with humor and humanity, it is the spiritual response to Bill Bryson’s bestseller A Walk in the Woods. On his pilgrimage, Paul eludes the FBI, meets his guardian angel, survives a lightning strike and a near drowning, encounters the ghost of a relative, acquires a trail name (Sondance), finds a field of dreams, walks off the war, solves the death of a Hollywood starlet, discovers Saint Francis and the Buddha in New York, embraces a religious cult, visits ground zero for the sixties hippie movement (Arlo’s not Alice’s Restaurant), receives a sacred stone from a Lakota medicine man, meets a female apostle, discovers his father’s parallel spiritual journey, and copes with the death of his parents. His adventure ultimately reveals nature is not only the handiwork of God but the hand of God that leads each of us on a unique spiritual journey. About the Author Paul J. Travers received a BA in English from the University of Maryland and an MA in human resources management from Pepperdine University. Following graduation, he served in the US Marine Corps. A former park ranger and historian with the Maryland Park Service, he is also the author of Eyewitness to Infamy (An Oral History of Pearl Harbor), The Patapsco: Baltimore’s River of History, The Flight of the Shadow Drummer, and The Cowgirl and the Colts. Over the past decade, he has been involved with various historical and environmental groups. He continues to hike the Appalachian Trail.

DIE Einführung in die Immunologie für Studierende der Biowissenschaften und der MedizinDer Janeway, das bewährte und viel gelobte* Standardlehrbuch der Immunologie, liegt nun erneut in einer vollständig überarbeiteten und aktualisierten Fassung vor. Das Werk führt den Leser in gewohnter Souveränität durch alle Aspekte des Immunsystems – vom ersten Einsatz der angeborenen Immunität bis zur Erzeugung der adaptiven Immunantwort, von den vielfältigen klinischen Konsequenzen normaler und pathologischer immunologischer Reaktionen bis zur Evolution des Immunsystems.In der 7. Auflage sind unter anderem neue Erkenntnisse über NK-Zellen, Toll-like-Rezeptoren, intrazelluläre Signalwege, virale Evasine, AID, die Evolution des angeborenen Immunsystems, das immunologische Gedächtnis, die mucosale Immunität und Zöliakie integriert. Zudem wurden die Verständnisfragen an den Kapitelenden erweitert.Das in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzte Werk besticht durch seine Aktualität, seine konzeptionelle Geschlossenheit und seine ansprechende Illustration. Es bleibt damit in diesem unverändert rasant fortschreitenden Fachgebiet ein hochaktueller und verlässlicher Begleiter.*Stimmen zu früheren Auflagen:»Dieses Buch bringt Studenten und Wissenschaftlern die Immunologie aktuell und in hervorragender Weise näher.« Prof. Dr. N. Müller-Lantzsch, Universitätskliniken Homburg»Ein Lehrbuch, das eine hervorragende Didaktik hat und an Aktualität nicht zu übertreffen ist.« Prof. Dr. Lothar Rink, Universitätsklinikum Aachen»Die neue Auflage ist kaum noch zu schlagen.« Prof. Dr. S.H.E. Kaufmann, Max-Planck-Institut für Infektionsbiologie, Berlin »Mit Recht zählt das Buch zu den Marktführern seines Faches und sollte in keiner Bibliothek fehlen.« Pharmind»Unter den Immunologie-Lehrbüchern nimmt dieses sicher heute den vorderen Rang ein. Es macht Vergnügen, sich von ihm bilden zu lassen.« Biospektrum»Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert; es eignet sich besonders für Biologiestudenten zur Prüfungsvorbereitung, für Mediziner als Nachschlagewerk, aber auch für Studenten und Dozenten anderer Fächer.« Chirurgische Praxis»Dieses packende moderne Lehrbuch [bietet] jungen Biologen und Medizinern die gegenwärtig beste Möglichkeit, die Mechanismen des Immunsystems in ihrem evolutionären und funktionellen Kontext und medizinischen Bezug kennen zu lernen und vielleicht für ihre eigene zukünftige Tätigkeit zu entdecken.« Prof. Klaus Rajewsky im Vorwort zur Vorauflage
