Molecular Pathways of Different Types of Cell Death: Many Roads to Death; Apoptotic, Autophagic and Necrotic Cell Death Types in Pathophysiological Conditions: Morphological and Histological Aspects; Role of Attraction and Danger Signals in the Uptake of Apoptotic and Necrotic Cells and its Immunological Outcome; Molecules Involved in Recognition and Clearance of Apoptotic/Necrotic Cells and Cell Debris; Evolutionarily Conserved Pathways Regulating Engulfment of Apoptotic Cells
Summary
Deals with the advances made in uncovering the molecular and cellular basis of phagocytosis of apoptotic and necrotic dying cells. This book examines the possibility of using apoptotic cells in the prevention and treatment of graft rejection and in the rational design of immunotherapy and vaccines for cancer treatment
