Produktinformationen zu „Immune Biology of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation “
This book provides clinical and scientific researchers with a deep understanding of the current research and the implications for translational practice. By providing an overview of immune biology of HSCT, an explanation of immune rejection and detail on antigens and their role in HSCT success, this book embraces biologists and clinicians who need a broad view of the deeply complex processes involved. It then moves on to discuss the immunobiology mechanisms that influence graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) and transplantation success. With the use of illustrative figures, highlighted key issues, description of recent successes and discussions of unanswered questions, this book brings together the current state of HSCT to enhance the prospects for the future. Allogeneic HSCT is a medical procedure in which a patient receives blood-forming stem cells (cells from which all blood cells develop) from a genetically similar but not identical donor. This procedure is commonly performed for people with diseases of the blood, bone marrow, or certain cancers. While HSCT is widely performed, it remains risky with many possible complications. As Such, experimental practice is reserved for preclinical animal models including the mouse and dog. These animal models have been essential in developing transplant protocols, including preclinical testing of conditioning regimens, treatment of GVHD, and understanding the pathology of GVHD as well as the immunological mechanisms of GVHD and GVL effect. There has been a recent explosion in research that has revealed significant species differences between humans and animal models that need to be considered when drawing conclusions from studies with animal models to relate to clinical allogeneic HSCT scenarios. Some of these issues apply when attempting to draw broad conclusions from clinical studies.

Immune Biology of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation provides clinical and scientific researchers with a deep understanding of the current research in this field and the implications for translational practice.

It then moves on to discuss the immunobiology mechanisms that influence graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect, and transplantation success.

This procedure is commonly performed for people with diseases of the blood, bone marrow, or certain cancers, but it remains risky with many possible complications.

These animal models have been essential in developing transplant protocols, including preclinical testing of conditioning regimens, treatment of GVHD, and understanding the pathology of GVHD as well as the immunological mechanisms of GVHD and GVL effect. However, recent research has revealed significant species differences between humans and animal models that must be considered when relating animal model studies to clinical allogeneic HSCT scenarios.

Autoren-Porträt von Gerard Socie
Socie, GerardDr. Gerard Socie's main field of expertise (clinical and biological); allogeneic stem cell transplantation with special focus on graft-versus-host disease and study of late effects, aplastic anemia with special focus on PNH, and Fanconi anemia. He is GCP certified (last May 2017) and the department head and head of transplantation at the Hospital Saint Louis, University of Paris VII.

Rezension zu „Immune Biology of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation “
"Socie and Blazar provide clinical and scientific researchers with 12 chapters on research on allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and implications for translational practice."--Reference and Research Book News, August 2013 "Bruce Blazar and Gerard Socie have put together an important book on the Immune Biology of Stem Cell Transplants. The Authors chosen for specific chapters are all recognized experts in their field. This book will be very popular among young scientists in training, as well as among experienced transplanters."--Andrea Bacigalupo, MD, Head of the Department of Hematology at Ospedale San Martino in Genoa, Italy "Self/non-self discrimination is a fundamental requirement of life. Accordingly, vertebrates are equipped with an adaptive immune system that is eminently self-referential: it is selected on self-molecules, sustained by self-molecules, and activated in the presence of self-molecules. Therefore, what might be the consequences of introducing a mature immune system in a novel "non-self" host? The consequences are many. Some are predictable and dreadful (e.g., graft-vs.-host disease), other unexpected and awe-inspiring (e.g., the graft-vs.-leukemia effect). Nonetheless, when allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was introduced in medicine, it would have been impossible to anticipate its profound impact on our understanding of immunobiology. Gerard Socie and Bruce Blazar have taken up the gauntlet. They have assembled a dream team of experts who present a clear, comprehensive, critical and exciting picture of the current knowledge in immunobiology of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation."--Claude Perreault, PhD, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Immunobiology Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer Universite de Montreal
