MFG-E8 and Inflammation starts by describing the origin, structure, expression, functions and regulation of MFG-E8, and then on continues thoughtfully exploring its potentiality as a marker for apoptotic, stressed and activated cells.  The topics cover the cellular and physiological function of MFG-E8, especially its role in efficient phagocytosis of apoptotic cells, intestinal barrier function, blood cell homeostasis and coagulation, and in the maintenance of the intact vascular system.  The role of MFG-E8 in macrophages, neutrophils, lymphocytes, dendritic cells, platelets, as well as non-hematopoietic cells is adequately described in the book.  The chapters also contain several lucid discussions on the recent discoveries of the roles of MFG-E8 in the autoimmune diseases, sepsis, tissue ischemia-reperfusion, hemorrhage, inflammatory bowel disease, acute lung injury, asthma, lung fibrosis, stroke, prion disease and Alzheimer’s disease with the potential focus on elucidating novel mechanistic pathways. MFG-E8 and Inflammation is an indispensable resource for scientists and clinical researchers working on fundamental or applied aspects of MFG-E8 pathobiology.  This book explores, dissects and reviews several noteworthy findings and striking future perspectives which not only rewrite the disease pathophysiology, but also update our understanding towards attaining novel therapeutic potentials against various inflammatory diseases.       .MilkfatInflammationPathologyInflammation(DNLM)D007249Pathology(DNLM)D010336Cancer Researchhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B11001Immunologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B14000Cell Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008Pathologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H4800XBiomedicine, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000XMilkfat.Inflammation.Pathology.Inflammation.Pathology.Cancer Research.Immunology.Cell Biology.Pathology.Biomedicine, general.637.14Wang Pingedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298321003321MFG-E8 and Inflammation2537237UNINA
