Our understanding of inflammation has increased rapidly in recent years,
due in large part to the impact of molecular biology and gene
identification and cloning. This book brings together ideas from a
number of different biochemical disciplines which are frequently not
integrated.
The first chapter gives a visual overview of the subject; the remaining
chapters are organized into three themes: the affector molecules, the
regulatory components and the processes of inflammation itself.
This book is essential reading for the busy physician or pathologist who
wants to be up-to-date with the latest developments in immunology as
they affect the diagnosis and treatment of many conditions.
