Addresses those areas of skin immunology and skin sciences that account for the processes that control irritant and allergic contact dermatitis. Outlines numerous cellular and molecular factors involved in the development of irritation and sensitization, and describes technologies and the practical application of biochemicals which might lead to reduction of these skin reactions. Reviews immune function in contact dermatitis, and reviews patent literature of agents modulating irritation and sensitization. Kydonieus is president of a pharmaceutical company involved in development of biomaterials and drug delivery products.

This volume explores the possible functional significance of proopiomelanocortin-derived peptides and their receptor expression in human skin. It particularly focuses on the modulation of skin immune and stress responses, and in the pathogenesis of several important skin diseases with a recognized neuroimmunologic component, such as atopic eczema, contact allergy, uticaria, and psoriasis.

This volume highlights the proceedings of the 7th International Congress of the International Society for Neuroimmunomodulation. The volume provides an overview current research in neural and endocrine mechanisms of immune regulation as well as the effects of peripheral and central immune responses on brain function. Of particular interest are the mechanisms by which local and systemic inflammation act upon the brain, and in turn, how the brain regulates inflammation via direct innervation and release of humoral factors.

The discipline of neuroimmunomodulation is devoted to interactions between the immune nervous systems at all levels and includes observation on brain, pituitary, peripheral nervous system and immune cells. Nitric oxide synthase is contained within neurons in the brain and modifies behavioural and hormonal responses by acting on other neurons and on release of peptides and other transmitters through activation of guanylate cyclase and cyclooxygenase. Increases in this and in expression of proinflammatory cytokines can contribute to damage in patients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinsonism, meningitis, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease.

These proceedings focus on different areas of research, with special emphasis on relating the state of the art (basic) neuroimmunomodulation research to its potential practical application in specific fields. Among these, the role of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system; peripheral mechanisms of neuroimmunomodulation; behavioural studies and immunity; and neuroimmunomodulation correlates in autoimmune disease represent areas of particular interest. Also highlighted are studies related to the role of melatonin as an immunomodulatory hormone (an area of explosive growth), as well as the emerging field of neuroendocrine regulation of haematopoiesis. Clinical studies in cancer, allergy, AIDs and other infectious diseases will focus upon neuroimmunomodulation-based mechanisms, and suggest new therapeutic approaches.

"Many studies have now illustrated the importance of the equilibrium between the interacting immune, nervous, and endocrine systems for integrated physiology and homeostasis, and alterations in this equilibrium are implicated in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. This Annals volume presents recent research discussed at the 9th Congress of the International Society for Neuroimmunomodulation, held on September 25-27, 2014, in Liege, Belgium, which brought together international academic and industry scientists studying the communication and regulatory mechanisms integrating the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems in both health and disease. The papers in this volume cover a range of topics in neuroimmunomodulation, including inflammation, gastrointestinal physiology, and behavior; inflammatory mediators and chronic pain; metabolic and neuroendocrine disorders in HIV; cytokines/chemokines in the central and peripheral nervous system; glia and neuroinflammation; therapeutic interventions in neuroimmunological diseases; aging and neuroimmunomodulation; epigenetics, inflammation, and mental health; stress and immunity; and psychiatric disorders and immunity."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
