Into the Future - Genetic Engineering and Beyond; IndexIn terms of structural complexity, the natural world presents innumerable examples of stunning beauty and high functionality, usually with the minimum of material and energy expenditure. Materials chemists can harness these amazing structures as ready-made scaffolds on which to grow inorganic phases which replicate the underlying complexity, thereby producing materials with greatly enhanced physical properties. This book comprehensively describes the entire range of natural materials that have been used in this way and the inorganic phases which result from them.

Lectins are a large group of glycan-binding proteins that recognize diverse glycan and non-glycan structures expressed on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and are vital to cell-cell interactions, the attachment of microbes to host cells, and the recognition and activation of immune responses to exogenous and endogenous danger signals. The composition and structure of microbes are complex and include numerous ‘pathogen-associated molecular patterns’ or ‘damage-associated molecular patterns’. As such, microbes’ interactions with immune cells activate multiple innate immunity receptors and produce distinct inflammatory reactions, which can be protective to contain microbial invasion, or pathogenic to cause tissue damage and shock syndrome in the host. The book shares lessons learned from state-of-the art research in this field, highlights the latest discoveries, and provides insightful discussions on lectin-mediated inflammatory reactions, while also outlining future research directions. .Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology,0065-2598 ;1204ImmunologyMedical microbiologyBiochemistryImmunologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B14000Medical Microbiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003Biochemistry, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14005Immunology.Medical microbiology.Biochemistry.Immunology.Medical Microbiology.Biochemistry, general.572.69Hsieh Shie-Liangedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409683603321Lectin in Host Defense Against Microbial Infections2531817UNINA
