Description
Immunity and Inflammation in Health and Disease: Emerging Roles of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods in Immune Support provides a comprehensive description of the various pathways by which the vertebrate immune system works, the signals that trigger immune response and how fnew and novel nutraceuticals and functional foods, can be used to contain inflammation and also to boost immunity and immune health.
Inflammation is a tool to fight pathogens and the vertebrate immune system has a very complex network of cells to achieve this. However inflammation that goes awry is also the leding cause of several diseases ranging from cardiovascular diseases to diabetes. This book covers the entire gamut from the various cellular players in the inflammation-immune response to its ramifications in terms of protection against pathogens as well as in onset of metabolic, aging and auto-immune related diseases. Finally, the balancing role of dietary nutrients between host defence and immune support is also showcased. The first three scetions explain the various components of the immune system and their modes of activation. The fourth section deals with the ramifications of a robust and execessive inflammatory response. The fifth section is focused on the association between nutrition and immunity and how deficiencies in certain nutrients may affect immunocompetence. The sixth section chapters represent a vision of paradigm shifts within the field and discusses possible future directions.
This bool will be a valuable reference for researchers studying immune health either in academia, or in the nutraceutical or functional food industries. Product developers in nutraceutical, supplement, functional food, and health food companies will also appreciate the information presented here.

Persons
Shampa Chatterjee is Associate Professor at the Department of Physiology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicinein Philadelphia. Trained in India, Germany and the US, her current research is on inflammation-immune signaling with a focus on the vascular system. Her lab studies the role of redox signals in the onset and amplification of inflammation and immune responses. Toward this, recent work from her group showed that the systemic cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 activates an inflammation cascade in the vascular system that can potentially lead to vascular dysfunction. Research in her lab is funded by extramural research funding from the NIH and corporate sources. Dr. Chatterjee serves on the Editorial Board of several journals in the field of pulmonary physiology. She has published more than 100 papers in peer reviewed journals and edited two books on Endothelial Signaling, and on Inflammation and Immune responses. Dr. Chatterjee has received numerous awards such as the Caroline Tum Suden young Investigator Award, and the Hermann Rahn award for Excellence if Pulmonary Physiology. The topics addressed in this book are central to her research where she tries unraveling the balance between the onset of inflammation in host protection and resolution of inflammation in host injury. Wolfgang Jungraithmayr MD, PhD is a transplant surgeon and immunologist with a research interest in the field of transplant and tumor immunology. His lab has unraveled some of the signaling events that follow the transplant procedure and that lead to allograft rejection post lung transplant. He is professor of thoracic surgery at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and the Medical University Brandenburg, Germany. Wolfgang Jungraithmayr published more than 70 original articles and received several awards, among them the Grillo Award of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons Dr. Bagchi is an academic, industry, and clinical-affairs leader in nutraceuticals, functional foods, toxicology, pharmacology, and nutrition science. He holds adjunct faculty appointments at Texas Southern University and Adelphi University, where he contributes to teaching in neurotoxicology and integrative neuroscience, and serves as Director of Innovation and Clinical Affairs at Dr. Herbs LLC. He previously held faculty and senior research leadership roles in pharmaceutical sciences, nutraceuticals, and scientific affairs. Dr. Bagchi has held leadership positions in professional organizations including the International Society of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods, the American College of Nutrition, and the Institute of Food Technologists' Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods Division. His work includes extensive peer-reviewed publications, edited books, and patents. He serves in advisory, peer-review, and editorial roles for scientific organizations and journals, with contributions spanning functional foods, nutrition, toxicology, oxidative stress, and biomedical research.
