Proteomics, Multi-Omics and Systems Biology in Optic Nerve Regeneration is a comprehensive reference that covers all vistas of standardization of axon regeneration, as well as all multi-omics and system level data and integration tools. By adopting a translational approach, the book bridges current research in the field to clinical applications, and readers can expect to learn standardization approaches for axon regeneration, multi-omics datasets, different databases, search engines, multiple dataset integrative tools, pathway convergence approaches and tools, outcome and outcome measures that unify bench research with clinical outcome.The axon regeneration from existing neurons in central nervous system (CNS) have become a potential possibility in the last decade. The potential possibility of long-distance axon growth has opened the possibility of re-connectivity of axons of retinal ganglion cell neurons within the lateral geniculate nucleus in the brain. The long-distance axon regeneration and re-connectivity is a promise to restore lost vision in the optic nerve. Further, long-distance regeneration and re-innervation is equally helpful for other fields such as spinal cord injuries.

Includes updates on the use of multi-omics datasets for selecting molecules for axon regenerationBridges the preclinical and clinical world, from selection of the molecules to outcome leading to IND filing and their useIncludes system level knowledge needed for central nervous system axon and dendrite regeneration, and standardizes the system level biology for axon regenerationExplores the current state of multi-omics in axon and dendrite regeneration in the optic nerve and its comparison to other CNS regeneration

Lipid Analysis in Biology, Health, and Disease bridges the gap between discovery science and clinical lipidology, empowering both scientific and medical communities to apply lipid analysis and understanding in new research, as well as diagnosis and management of diseases. Here, international experts in the field begin with the basic biology of the lipids, followed by methods and technology for study, and lipids in lab medicine and epidemiology. This book uniquely combines biology and analysis to drive healthcare advances, with a diverse range of technologies and analytic methods considered.Basic lipid biology chapters discuss membrane expansion, lysosomal positioning, mitochondrial biogenesis, lipid-protein interactions, molecular dynamics, cholesterol transport, immune activation and inflammation, lipid droplets, and gender differences in lipid metabolism. Each disease chapter incorporates basic lipid epidemiology, risk factors, and genetic associations.

Covers diverse technologies for lipid research and analysis, as well as clinical applications from membrane simulation to drug delivery systemsIncludes applied, translational case studies, and research examples throughoutFeatures chapter contributions from international experts in the field

Published in 2014, Protein Deimination in Human Health and Disease was the first book on this novel post-translational modification, in which selected positively-charged arginine amino acids are converted to neutral citrulline amino acids by the peptidyl-arginine deiminase (PAD) family of enzymes. This area of research continues to expand rapidly, necessitating the need for this second edition. Chronicling the latest inflammatory, epigenetic, neurodegenerative, and carcinogenic processes, Protein Deimination in Human Health and Disease, Second Edition, updates the latest advances in deimination research, including new information on PAD enzyme structure and activity, and how PAD knock-out animals are being used to study known and newly-discovered links to various human diseases. The first edition outlined what was known about citrullinated proteins in normal tissues such as skin and hair, as well as in maladies such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), glaucoma, peripheral nerve injury, neonatal hypoxic brain damage, and breast cancer. This second edition addresses numerous additional disorders such as diabetes, asthma, traumatic brain injury, inflammatory bowel disease, lupus, bone disease, heart failure, fronto-temporal dementia, and prostate and colon cancer. It also provides updates on the deimination research covering the three seminal diseases first linked to this process (RA, MS and AD), and details how auto-antibodies against citrullinated proteins contribute to disease. In addition, new hypotheses on the possible pathologic mechanisms of citrullinated myelin basic protein and glial fibrillary acidic protein are also proposed. This second edition also outlines the latest developments in therapeutic strategies, including the use of new PAD antagonists and innovative techniques such as micro-vescicles and stem cells as possible mechanisms to treat these conditions.
