Nova Science Publishers Inc The Fundamentals of Hypersensitivities and Allergies
The book "The Fundamentals of Hypersensitivity and Allergy" comprises of seven chapters and describes the historical perspective, causes and classification of hypersensitivities, which are important in understanding the current issues regarding conditions in which the immune system which normally serves a protective role has a harmful effect. This book describes the original concept of hypersensitivity and allergy and how sensitive individuals respond to different allergens, drugs and other agents, where the body reacts with an exaggerated immune response that ultimately results in tissue damage. The classification of hypersensitive reactions given by Gell and Coombs with the modifications made to the previous classification are described in detail. Different types of hypersensitivities, their process, the contribution of various cells and molecules to normal immune responses and to hypersensitive reactions are discussed separately. The examples for different types of immune responses are described thoroughly to get a proper understanding of the topic. The clinical manifestations of different types of hypersensitivities and their means of prevention, evaluation and management are also depicted in separate chapters with clear insight. Lastly, the airborne allergens responsible for the allergy, different types of aeroallergens, their effects and allergies caused by them are described. The effect of climate change on aeroallergen production, various diagnostic tests for detection of aero-allergy with their prevention and control are discussed in detail separately. The book contains a reasonable number of diagrams, flowcharts and tables. Besides this, various interesting and self-explanatory illustrations are incorporated to make the book useful to the students for whom it is written. The question bank, which includes long answer type, short answer type and multiple choice questions with their answers at the very end of each chapter, is developed to get a full grasp of the topic.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Therapeutic potential of Cell Cycle Kinases in Breast Cancer
This book highlights the interrelation between cell cycle regulators and breast cancer phenotypes. It reviews the roles of Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDK) in driving cell cycle progression, cell cycle checkpoints and dysregulation in breast cancer. It also examines the prognostic significance of CDKs in breast cancer. and CDK inhibitors for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. Further, the book discusses the role of different G1 cyclins in differentiation, chromosome stability, and transcriptional regulation in breast cancer. Additionally, it examines the role of immunogenic effects of CDK inhibitors, the mechanism of resistance and the current clinical trials in breast cancer treatment. Towards the end, the book explores cell cycle regulation as an attractive target for targeted drug therapy in breast cancer. This book is a comprehensive yet concise resource for oncologists and researchers interested in exploring the therapeutic potential of Cyclin-Dependent Kinases in breast cancer.
