Produktbeschreibung

The aims of the book are to provide an authoritative reference for academic and clinical research scientists and teachers with interests in immunology, inflammation and pharmacology and we are grateful to all the contributors who have presented the most up-to-date information available. We believe that the book will stimulate the concept of immunopharmacology as a true discipline if pharmacology with exciting avenues to be rapidly explored and which should lead to the alleviation of the destructive inflammatory arthritides.
