Cytokine Reference, Two-Volume Set (Institutional Version): A Compendium of Cytokines and Other Mediators of Host Defense - Tapa dura

De la contraportada

The Cytokine Reference is the most complete work available for anyone interested in the role of cytokines in host defense processes. Central to this essential Reference is access to a regularly updated and functional on-line version, which enables you to get all the information you need when you need it.
This launch version includes 193 entries, in print and on-line, with detailed descriptions of cytokine genes, proteins, cell sources, activities, receptors, receptor signal transduction, gene activation, pathophysiology, therapeutics and techniques. Additional entries will follow on-line, providing you with comprehensive information on all known cytokines and their receptors, including chemokines, growth factors and neuropeptides.
Written and edited by a panel of global experts, this is the only reference on cytokines that you will ever need.
Key features include:
* Regularly up-dated entries and addition of new entries as the latest research uncovers further information
* Each entry organised in the same way to allow quick and easy access to information on every aspect of the cytokines
* Extensive internal hyperlinking to allow you to access the data you need from multiple entry points of interest such as diseases, cell types, receptors, and cytokine families
* 'At a glance' dynamic listings showing which cytokines are produced by which cells or implicated in which diseases
* Additional external hyperlinks to on-line databases such as PubMed
* Fully searchable text and highly functional structure to guide you through the maze of inter-relationships
