The aim of this book, The Innate Immune System in Health and Disease: From the Lab Bench Work to Its Clinical Implications. Volume 1, is to provide updated information to scientists and clinicians that is valuable in their quest to gather information, carry out new investigations, and develop novel drugs that are more effective and do not cause adverse effects targeting the innate immune system. This book is of high priority to people interested in an update on innate immunity. Volume 1 examines the participation of innate immunity in diseases such as infections by viruses, cancer, or parasites. Specifically, this volume discusses innate immunity as it relates to chronic HIV infection, type 2 diabetes, and SARS-CoV-2, as well as its relationship with vitamin D. The dual role of neutrophils in cancer development and the plasticity of natural killer cells are investigated. Also, the immune response to infections from helminth and Toxoplasma gondii are described.

The Innate Immune System in Health and Disease: From the Lab Bench Work to its Clinical Implications. Volume 1 promises to be a must-have book for all people who want to know about the role of the basic functioning of the innate immune system in several diseases of actual relevance to human health.

Key Features:
• Provides basic and clinical evidence based on molecular interactions to address the role of innate immunity in viral diseases, such as HIV and SARS-CoV-2
• Discusses the role of vitamin D as modulator of the immune response during viral infections
• Addresses the immunometabolic interactions in type 2 diabetes and SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19)
• Analyzes the dual role for neutrophils and myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the development of colorectal cancer
• Provides evidence of the plasticity of natural killer cells in cancer and its opportunities for therapy
• Delves into the dual role of neutrophils in cancer development
• Presents updated information on innate immunity against Toxoplasma gondii infection
• Discusses in depth the role of the innate immune response during helminth infections

We hope that readers enjoy this book and that it may be of use to all people involved, from scientists in the lab to clinicians in the field.
