  • Innate Immunity: Resistance and Disease-Promoting Principles

    by S. Pahernik ...
    Series series
    Our understanding of the complex innate immune response is increasing rapidly. Its role in the protection against viral or bacterial pathogens is essential for the survival of an organism. However, it is equally important to avoid unregulated inflammation because innate immune responses can cause or promote chronic autoinflammatory diseases such as gout, atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes or certain ...

  • Advances in Stem Cell Aging

    by S. Pahernik ...
    Series series
    Adult stem cells are present in most postnatal tissues of mammals. Tissues with high rates of cell turnover depend on the functional capacity of stem cells for lifelong maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Adult stem cells are also required for the regeneration of tissues in response to injury as in, for example, the regeneration of skeletal muscle. In addition to its function in tissue homeostasis ...

  • Molecular Mechanisms of Adult Stem Cell Aging

    by S. Pahernik ...
    Series series Else Kröner-Fresenius Symposia
    There is growing evidence that adult stem cells age. This process can result in alterations in the number and function of stem cells, leading to distinct phenotypic outcomes in different organ systems. This publication provides an outstanding overview of this emerging field. The molecular causes of stem cell aging remain to be defined. Stem cell aging can involve cell-intrinsic as well as cell ...

  • Cancer Stem Cells

    Edited by William L. Farrar, PhD ...
    A remarkable paradigm shift has occurred in recent years regarding the biological origins of cancer. The cancer stem cell hypothesis challenged the foundational notions of cancer, and the therapeutic implications have been profound. Compelling evidence indicates that errors in the development of a small subset of adult stem cells can lead to cancer. Only this small sub-population of cells has the ... Read more

  • Lentiviral Vectors and Gene Therapy

    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Gene therapy was conceived during the early and mid part of the 20th century. At first, it was considered a revolutionary biomedical procedure, which could potentially cure any disease for which the molecular bases were understood. Since then, gene therapy has gone through many stages and has evolved from a nearly unrealistic perspective to a real life application. Clinical efficacy in humans was ... Read more
