Immunopharmacology of Platelets (Handbook of Immunopharmacology)

Academic Press, 1995

Although anucleated, blood platelets are extraordinarily efficient cells and still the subject of fruitful investigations in haematology, in vascular physiology, in biochemistry, and more recently in immunology and in physiopathology where their metabolism has been implicated as a source of potential effector compounds. It...

Osteoimmunology: Interactions of the Immune and Skeletal Systems

Springer, 2012

It has been almost 40 years since it was fi rst observed that cells of the immune system could in fl uence the functions of bone [ 1 ] .

Toll-like Receptors: Roles in Infection and Neuropathology (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology)

Springer, 2009

Mammalian Toll-like receptors (TLRs) were first identified in 1997 based on their homology with Drosophila Toll, which mediates innate immunity in the fly. In recent years, the number of studies describing TLR expression and function in the nervous system has been increasing steadily and expanding beyond their traditional roles in infectious...
