Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - More than 25 years after its first application, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is now successfully used not only as an anti-tumor treatment, but also as a therapeutic tool for a variety of diseases, including psoriasis and age-related macular degeneration. The beneficial effects of PDT are known to be critically influenced by the immune system. Especially the impact of apoptosis as the preferential cell death mode following PDT and the related immune responses are in the focus of current research. This book summarizes the results of a scientific study about the effects of in vitro PDT treatment on the functional characteristics of dendritic cells, a class of cells that act as immunologic sentinels of the body. Several functions of dendritic cells were shown to be influenced by the preceding photodynamic treatment, emphasizing the thesis that the immune system is an important contributor to the PDT-mediated biological effects. This book is aimed at students, scientists and medical health professionals in the fields of cell and molecular biology, immunology and oncology who wish to gain deeper insights into the immune responses evoked by photodynamic therapy.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Exposure to radiation may have disastrous consequences for the body and its components. However, low-dose alpha radiation - as utilized in radon therapy - can exert beneficial biological effects and lead to improvement of the general health status and alleviation of symptoms in patients who suffer from diseases of autoimmune origin. In this context alpha radiation is believed to positively affect the immune system, leading to active anti-inflammatory immune reactions and regeneration of impaired body functions.This book summarizes the results of a study about the impact of alpha particle irradiation on the immune system of the skin. The findings obtained from the study support the theory that the immune system is involved in responses to alpha radiation in the skin, and contribute to the current understanding of radiation-dependent immune modulation, especially in the context of alpha particle-mediated treatments such as radon therapy.This book is aimed at students, scientists and medical health professionals, but also at patients who wish to get deeper insights in the current research in the fields of radiation biology and immune modulation by alpha particle-based therapy forms.…
