Publisher's Synopsis
A profound insight into the current highlights of cytokine research. This complex field has developed at breakneck speed since the end of the 1980s, and new cytokines as mediators of acute and chronic inflammation are still being discovered.
The book contains a discussion of therapeutic options with antagonists or soluble receptors, complete with an introductory review on the role of cytokines in leukemia by Donald Metcalf, noted for his fundamental work on the hierarchy of hematopoiesis.
