Description

The immune system has only been understood by immunologists since 1980, and most of us never had a course in immunology while in school. Trying to grasp the complexities of the dangers of Covid and the rationale of the public health policies has been daunting. This book, a memoir of Smith's first twenty years as a young scientist at Dartmouth Medical School, chronicles the revolution that has occurred in our understanding of how the immune system is regulated. This revolution has been made possible by pioneering experiments that Smith and his team accomplished in the 1970s and '80s, and by many others who have since followed their leads. The keys that unlocked the mysteries of cellular behaviors was the discovery of new molecules that direct and dictate immune responses to microbial infections. It was necessary to coin a new name for these molecules, interleukins, because they had been totally unrecognized. The most important aspect of these new molecules was the startling revelation that they function like classic hormones, and they comprise an immunoendocrine system. Like neurotransmitters in the nervous system, they convey information by interacting with receptors that appear on immune system cells. The excitement and euphoria of discovery of new knowledge in this book are unparalleled.Kendall Smith, a physician scientist for more than fifty years, is Cornell University Professor Emeritus of Medicine and Immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York. He graduated from Denison University, and summa cum laude from The Ohio State College of Medicine. He then trained at Yale New Haven Hospital, The National Cancer Institute, and L'Institut de Cancerologie et d'Immunogenetique in Villejuif, France. He has published articles in more than 200 medical and scientific journals, including Nature, Science, Journal of Experimental Medicine, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal of Immunology, and was founding editor of Frontiers in Immunology. He is the editor of Interleukin-2, and author of The Quantal Theory of Immunity: The Molecular Basis of Autoimmunity and Leukemia, and Molecular Immunity: A Chronology of 60 Years of Discovery.
