Microglia Physiology, Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Potential


Free Download Microglia: Physiology, Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Potential by Marie-Ève Tremblay, Alexei Verkhratsky
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 635 Pages | ISBN : 3031555287 | 141.9 MB
The past decade has witnessed a revolution in our understanding of microglia, especially since their roles in the healthy CNS have started to unravel. These cells were shown to actively maintain health, in concert with neurons and other types of CNS cells, providing further insight into their crucial involvement with diseases. Edited by Drs. Marie-Ève Tremblay and Alexei Verkhratsky, Microglia: Physiology, Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Potential shares with the scientific and medical community the latest discoveries in the microglial research field, with a truly comprehensive collection of chapters written by the top specialists across five continents. The book begins by explaining briefly what they are, from both historical and evolutionary points of view, and how they can be studied. The first section explains their physiological roles in the maturation, function, and plasticity of the CNS. The second section focuses on their general involvement in neuropathophysiology, and the third section on their critical implication in specific CNS diseases, including neurotrauma, neuropathic pain, ischemia and stroke, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, substance use and addiction, sleep disorders, ageing, and neurodegenerative diseases. The fourth section presents their clinical potential as a targeted therapeutic tool for these CNS diseases.

The Physiology of Taste Or Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy with Recipes (Vintage Classics)


Free Download The Physiology of Taste: Or Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy with Recipes (Vintage Classics) by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, M.F.K. Fisher, Bill Buford
English | October 4, 2011 | ISBN: 0307390373 | 464 pages | PDF | 3.25 Mb
A delightful and hilarious classic about the joys of the table, The Physiology of Taste is the most famous book about food ever written. First published in France in 1825 and continuously in print ever since, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin’s masterpiece is a historical, philosophical, and epicurean collection of recipes, reflections, and anecdotes on everything and anything gastronomical. Brillat-Savarin-who famously stated "Tell me what you eat and I shall tell you what you are"-shrewdly expounds upon culinary matters that still resonate today, from the rise of the destination restaurant to matters of diet and weight, and in M. F. K. Fisher, whose commentary is both brilliant and amusing, he has an editor with a sensitivity and wit to match his own.

English | PDF | 2003 | 452 Pages | ISBN : 0387004491 | 38.6 MB
Je tiens impossible de connaître les parties sans connaître le tout, non plus que de connaître le tout sans connaître particulierement les parties -Pascal The eterna[ mystery of the world is its comprehensibility -Einstein This book deals with the application of mathematical tools to the study of physiological systems. It is directed toward an audience of physiologists, physicians, physicists, kinesiologists, psychologists, engineers, mathemati cians, and others interested in finding out more about the complexities and subtleties of rhythmic physiological processes from a theoretical per spective. We have attempted to give a broad view of the underlying notions behind the dynamics of physiological rhythms, sometimes from a theoretical perspective and sometimes from the perspective of the experimentalist. This book can be used in a variety of ways, ranging from a more tra ditional approach such as a textbook in a biomathematics course (at either the advanced undergraduate or graduatelevel) to a research re source in which someone interested in a particular problem might look at the corresponding discussion here to guide their own thinking. We hope that researchers at all levels will find inspiration from the way we have dealt with particular research problems to tackle completely new areas of investigation, or even approach these in totally new ways.[/center]
