This volume shows how the lessons learned from tumour biology have been applied to inflammation. It develops current knowledge on molecular and cellular mechanisms as they relate to inflammation, including acute and chronic inflammation and neurogenic inflammation, It explains the roles of the multiple cellular components of inflammation, such as fibroblasts, dendritic cells and lymphocytes.
The book shows how this knowledge is being used in the discovery of novel therapeutics. It brings together experts in each of these fields to link the molecular and cellular processes in angiogenesis to those of inflammation and human disease.
This much-needed text develops current knowledge on the mechanisms of angiogenesis at the molecular and cellular levels as they relate to inflammation, including acute and chronic inflammation, neurogenic initiation, and the role of the multiple cellular components that comprise inflammation. The volume brings together experts in each of these fields to link the molecular and cellular processes in angiogenesis to those of inflammation and disease, culminating in a discourse on areas for future therapies.
