Immunology and the study of autoimmune disorders are at the forefront of medical research today. This book sets out to present the reader with the most advanced work in the field through expert studies. Part one examines the role of immunosuppression in health and disease. New research findings are discussed on topics including the mechanisms of immune suppression in measles, and T cell suppression in burns and septic injuries. Part two considers genes and autoimmunity with a focus on the contributions of intercellular signalling and microbiomes. The reader will gain new insights into costimulatory molecules in rheumatic diseases. Finally, part three examines autoimmune disorders, and offers studies of key concepts and advances. Here, the contributors address a wide range of topics including autoimmune disorders associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents, the analysis of the diagnostic and treatment options for ocular myasthenia, and current advances in primary Sjo?gren?s syndrome. This is an excellent source of new information and directions for further research that will interest students and physicians.
