Lessons in Immunity: From Single-cell Organisms to Mammals

Lessons in Immunity: From Single-cell Organisms to Mammals stems from the activity of the Italian Association of Developmental and Comparative Immunobiology (IADCI), represented by the editors. This book is presented as a series of short overviews that report on the current state of various relevant fields of immunobiology from an evolutionary perspective. The overviews are written by authors directly involved in the research, and most are members of the IADCI or have otherwise been involved in the related research for their respective overview. This publication offers scientists and teachers an easy and updated reference tool. Provides simple and updated reviews on the immunobiology of a wide spectrum of organisms, considered in an evolutionary contextFocuses on both cells and humoral components of a variety of non-classical model organismsOffers in a single volume many contributions which can help with understanding the evolution of immune responses and the main adaptations in animal phylaPresents a valuable holistic cross-sectional approach for teaching immunology and its applications INDICE: Health (homeostasis) and disease (allostasis)The Neuroimmune Supersystem Multiple regulators of GLH hormonesNeural regulation of the HPA axisImmunoregulation by arginine vasopressinMulti-faceted regulation with peripheral inputNeuropetides in immunoregulationAcute stress and healingChronic stress and diseaseBiologically contolled mutationsMicro RNA in immunoregulationNeuroprotection
