This book comprehensively reviews the intricate relationship between environmental toxicants and the gut microbiome. It explores the role of dietary choices and lifestyle in shaping and modulating the gut microbiome’s response to environmental toxicants. It examines the intricate relationship between these toxic substances and the composition, function, and overall health implications of the gut microbiome. The chapters provide in-depth insights into the impacts of various toxicants, such as phthalates, pesticides, organic pollutants, bisphenols, and heavy metals, on the delicate microbial balance within our digestive systems. Specific chapters address the impact of lead, mercury, cadmium,...
This book reviews the role of the lung microbiome in the development and progression of lung diseases. It deals with the role of microbiota dysbiosis in influencing host defense and immunity leading to resistance, colonization, and disease exacerbation. The book delineates the complex interaction between pathogen and lung residual microbiota during disease conditions. It further highlights the potential role of lung microbiota as the key modulator of lung carcinogenesis and immune response against cancer cells. Lastly, it reviews technological developments for unraveling the lung microbiome that profoundly impacts clinical diagnostics. This book is an essential resource for the scientists working in pulmonary diseases, pharmaceutical & clinical sciences, and pulmonary clinicians.
This book discusses the role of epigenetics in pathogenesis of different pulmonary diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary infections. It also explores post-translational modifications in DNA and histones for improving the understanding of lung diseases. This book helps in understanding the epigenetic mechanisms towards the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Further, the book provides insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in the epigenetic regulation of inflammation, which may have novel implications in designing small molecule inhibitors that target the epigenetic machinery for the effective treatment of a variety of inflammation‐related diseases. This book is a valuable resource for academics, research and industry professionals working in respiratory biology.
The book examines the cellular senescence in brain aging processes and its effects on three major neurodegenerative conditions: Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. It discusses basic aging mechanisms, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, before moving on to current treatments such as senolytics and autophagy modulators. The book is divided into several chapters, with specific sections dedicated to experimental approaches, detection methods, and disease-by-disease analysis of cellular senescence effects. A specific chapter explores the clinical potential of senescence-targeting therapies and discusses upcoming stud...
Mitochondrial activity is involved in different functions such as cell proliferation, metabolism, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation, and cell death. Particularly, mitochondria play a major role in inflammatory signaling. They regulate the activation, differentiation, and survival of macrophages, while changes in oxidative metabolism alter polarization. Mitochondria are the main source of free radicals, and macrophages increase their oxidative stress levels when they are active. The enhancement of free radicals generation in the mitochondria can damage healthy cells, leading to inflammation. Thus, several diseases associated with an increase in mitochondrial oxidative stress can be asso...
The revision of the Indian medical curriculum in 2018 put an emphasis on learner-centered, integrated, and competency-based learning. This is meant to facilitate the acquisition of skills along with ethical and humanistic values. The revised curriculum for undergraduate medical education enables the Indian medical graduate to recognize "Health for All" as a national goal and fulfill their societal obligations. The curriculum in pharmacology is witnessing a sea change from emphasis on animal experiments and dispensing pharmacy-based curriculum to an "applied" approach, where the emphasis is on how the student prescribes rationally, taking into view the various facets of the medicine and the p...
