Description
Macrophages Biology and Tissue Inflammation in Health and Disease outlines the important role of macrophages—keys cells in the innate immune system—as regulators and orchestrators of inflammation and repair in health and disease. It contains chapters by leading authors on the basic and translational aspects of macrophage biology, covering how to maintained tissue homeostatis and how to deal with internal and external biological threats.- Outlines the important role of macrophages as regulators and orchestrators of inflammation and repair in health and disease- Contains chapters by leading authors on the basic and translational aspects of macrophage biology in maintaining tissue homeostasis- Deals with internal and external treats
