This book is a comprehensive review of the structure/function and
biology of molecules belonging to the TGF-ß superfamily. Because
molecules in this family have very diverse biological roles the editors
have chosen to focus on the parts they play in the specific areas of
inflammation and wound/fracture healing.
Whilst molecules in the TGF-ß superfamily have been extensively studied,
there are few, if any, publications which have taken a broad perspective
on this family, most having chosen to focus on just one very small area.
This book is therefore unusual in that it offers a comprehensive
overview of the current state of the field, providing both in-depth and
essential background material suitable for both clinicians and
scientists alike.
