Reviews

REVIEW 1 This book captures the excitement in the field of myeloid cell biology with a fresh look at its many facets and provides both a scholarly reference work and thought-provoking synthesis of the major approaches and viewpoints that currently drive the field. -Alan Sher, PhD, NIH Distinguished Investigator; Chief, Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health REVIEW 2 Myeloid Cells in Health and Disease: A Synthesis has much to tell about a subset of our genes that operate in concert, directing the assembly of a machine that protects us against most of the infections we might ever encounter. -Bruce Beutler, MD, Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, 2011; Director, Center for the Genetics of Host Defense, UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas REVIEW 3 At A Glance The structure, functions, and interactions of myeloid cells have long been the focus of research and therapeutics development. Yet, much more remains to be discovered about the complex web of relationships that makes up the immune systems of animals. Scientists today are applying genome-wide analyses, single-cell methods, gene editing, and modern imaging techniques to reveal new subclasses of differentiated myeloid cells, new receptors and cytokines, and important interactions among immune cells. In Myeloid Cells in Health and Disease: A Synthesis, Editor Siamon Gordon has assembled an international team of esteemed scientists to provide their perspectives of myeloid cells during innate and adaptive immunity. The book begins by presenting the foundational research of Paul Ehrlich, Elie Metchnikoff, and Donald Metcalf. The following chapters discuss evolution and the life cycles of myeloid cells; specific types of differentiated myeloid cells, including macrophage differentiation; and antigen processing and presentation. Description This book provides a broad and balanced view of diverse myeloid cell populations and their role in different disease states. Purpose The overall purpose is to provide an overview of myeloid cell biology spanning normal physiology and pathological conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on the history of the field starting in the early 20th century. This is a very active field of investigation and there are other books available. However, this is a worthy contribution because it is fairly comprehensive. Audience An appropriate audience is immunologists who have a special interest in myeloid cells, which includes postdoctoral fellow and advanced graduate students. Features Some sections are well-written and very readable while a few are more difficult to follow. Generally, the figures are well done and informative, highly descriptive and didactic, summarizing large amounts of data. The literature and authors cited are representative of the state of the field. Information is presented for both murine and human myeloid cells in different models. This is attractive to researchers interested in interspecies comparisons and specific markers and characterization. For example, molecular marker profiles to distinguish functionally different cell populations are described in detail. This is particularly helpful for investigators new to the field. Assessment There are many recent review articles describing aspects of myeloid cell biology as they relate to health and disease. This is in contrast to a dearth of books with up-to-date information. I am aware of only one comparable recently published book, Macrophages: Biology and Role in the Pathology of Diseases, Biswas and Mantovani (Springer, 2014).
