"Cytokines are polypeptide mediators which act as communication signals among cells of the immune system as well as among other cells and tissues in the body. They are a heterogeneous and complex group and include interferons, tumor necrosis factor and chemokines. They play a key role in homeostasis and in host defense and are involved in such inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis as well as infectious disease ..."

This fascinating collection of material goes a long way to helping them do so, featuring as it does contributions to a crucial international meeting in Italy. The meeting provided a f ..."
Macrophages(Reprint) Biology and Role in the Pathology of Diseases by Subhra K. Biswas, AlbertoMantovani Paperback, 615 Pages, Published 2016 by Springer ISBN-13: 978-1-4939-5487-2, ISBN: 1-4939-5487-3
"Macrophages are a key component of the innate immune system and play an integral role in host defense and homeostasis. On one hand, these cells contribute to host defence by triggering inflammation, displaying microbicidal/tumoricidal properties, regulating the activation of adaptive immunity and promoting resolution of inflammation. On the other hand, they contribute to essential trophic functions such as neural patterning, bone morpho ..."
"The text here offers readers an overview of diverse approaches, ranging from drug discovery to cellular therapy. Overall, the book addresses the key question of whether ultimately targeted therapy in cancer will be a myth or a reality."

"Padova, 2006; br., pp. 106. L'endotelio è stato concepito come un "organo diffuso" che gioca un ruoloessenziale nel regolare una varietà di processi fisiologici che vanno daltraffico omeostatico delle cellule linfoidi, all'emostasi e trombosi,all'infiammazione, all'espressione delle risposte dell'immunità adattativa edalla formazione ed organizzazione di nuovi vasi. Gli studi sulla plasticitàdell'endotelio si sono arricchiti della defin ..."
