Genetic Regulation of Immune Response Pathways

Genetic Regulation of Immune Response Pathways, Volume 115 in the Advances in Genetics series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting comprehensive chapters on a variety of timely topics. Chapters explore the genetic regulation of immune cells upon activation, IFN response regulation during viral infections, and the role of noncoding RNAs-including lncRNAs and ncRNAs-in immune regulation and inflammation. Additional sections examine the JAK-STAT signaling pathway in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases as a potential therapeutic target, long noncoding RNAs as key regulators of autoimmunity, and the importance of appropriate cytokine expression in maintaining immune response homeostasis.Together, these contributions provide valuable insights into the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying immune-mediated processes. - Provides the authority and expertise of leading contributors from an international board of authors - Presents the latest release in the Advances in Genetics series - Explores the genetic regulation of immune cells upon activation, IFN response regulation during viral infections, and the role of noncoding RNAs, amongst other timely topics
