Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Immunity is the inherent ability of the body to fight against various infections, and foreign invaders. When the host body comes in contact with a foreign body, a series of chemical mediators are released, which collectively elicit an immune response. The biomolecules capable of stimulating, suppressing and modulating innate or acquired immunity, biological or synthetic in origin, are termed as immunomodulators or immunoaugmentors. Limited clinical use of synthetic immunomodulators has attracted the attention of researchers toward immunomodulatory characteristics of natural therapeutics. Though natural immunomodulators render their efficacy in several chronic illnesses, there are challenges that need to be addressed and resolved to make them viable alternate therapeutics. This chapter highlights the challenges and future perspectives of natural immunomodulators.
