Synopsis

Leukocyte adherence to endothelial cells is a critical early step in the onset of inflammatory disease. This theoretical and practical compendium describes the current understanding of mechanisms of leukocyte adhesion, providing information that could eventually facilitate successful treatment of inflammation. Included in this monograph are discussions of several significant aspects of leukocyte - endothelial interactions never before addressed, for example: cytokines as activators or inhibitors of adhesion, transendothelial migration and signal transduction of adhesion molecules. The book comes with a removable colour wall chart of adhesion molecules as well as a glossary for quick reference.

About this title

Review:

"Written by acknowledged experts in the field. The editors have tried to make the book as current as possible by a rapid production schedule. . . . the book will prove valuable to immunologists, cell biologists and physiologists who wish to learn more about the role of adhesion molecules in the inflammatory process. Even specialists in the field of cell adhesion are likely to find useful information in one or more chapters." --Immunology Today "The most complete and up-to-date understanding of leukocyte adherence to endothelial cells. Included are several significant issues of leukocyte-endothelial interactions that have never been addressed." --Breakthroughs in Molecular Biology "Written by acknowledged experts in the field.
