Reproductive Immunogenetics: A Molecular and Clinical Overview

Immunogenetics: A Molecular and Clinical Overview: Immunogenetic Factors and Signaling Pathways in Recurrent Miscarriage, Volume Four provides an overview of the scientific knowledge, achievements, and findings in the field of immunogenetics of recurrent pregnancy loss. With a strong focus on the role immune cells can play in recurrent pregnancy loss, the book also examines immune therapeutic aspects. In seventeen chapters, the book describes the roles of several different signaling pathways and the role of JLA and microRNAs in recurrent pregnancy loss. Several chapters are dedicated to the role autoimmune antibodies play in recurrent pregnancy loss. This book is a valuable resource for health professionals, scientists, researchers, and all those who wish to broaden their knowledge in the allied field.

• Contains global information about research on immunogenetics of recurrent pregnancy loss
• Assists clinicians and medical practitioners by presenting the most recent research information, ideas, thoughts of scientists and researchers, and trends in this research area
• Provides the prerequisite requirements for any researcher who wants to work on immunogenetics and its applications to recurrent pregnancy loss
