Cytokines and chemokines are an important class of effector molecules that play a fundamental
role in orchestrating the innate and acquired immune responses needed to eliminate or
wall off invading pathogens. In vitro and in vivo studies have been instrumental in revealing
the complexity of the cytokine network and the many facets of...
Step-by-step instructions enable chemical engineers to master key software programs and solve complex problems
Today, both students and professionals in chemical engineering must solve increasingly complex problems dealing with refineries, fuel cells, microreactors, and pharmaceutical plants, to name a few. With this book as...
There exists today an abundance of excellent texts covering the
various aspects of organic chemistry. The student of medicinal
chemistry can choose among any of a number of first-rate expositions
of that field. The reader who is primarily interested in
the synthesis of some particular class of medicinal agents, however,
will...
With its particular emphasis on the constitutive activity of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)s, this book comprehensively discusses an important biological process that has not yet been covered in such depth in any other existing books on GPCRs. The international team of highly distinguished authors addresses in detail current models and...
Treatment of patients with a brain tumor remains one of the most challenging and difficult areas of modern oncology. Recent advances in the molecular biology of these neoplasms have improved our understanding of the malignant phenotype and have lead to the development of novel forms of chemotherapy, including "targeted” agents. The...
