Description

Over the last decade, research has suggested that cells communicate with each other through discrete chemical molecules called cytokines. Cytokines have been found to be involved in a wide variety of diseases, including cancer, allergy, infection and inflammation. They also play a part in the development of blood vessels, embryo formation and differentiation. This is an introductory guide to the genetics, chemistry and biology of cytokines. It describes how they regulate cell growth and moderate immunological resonse. It covers various types of cytokines, including interferon and interleukin-2.

Description

Human Cytokines II will review the new generation of molecules and their place in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and viral, infectious, and immunologic diseases, et al. It includes the new interleukens, new transforming growth factor, and exciting recent information on stem cell factor and inhibitors. The field remains one of the hottest areas of cancer research, with new cytokines and new clinical successes constantly reported. The uses for these proteins show signs of only expanding, as the identification and application process is refined. I expect that we will shortly be discussing the possibility of a Cytokines III.

Description

The third in a series of handbooks, Human Cyokines, Volume III catalogues and describes the newest generation of cytokine molecules. A group of eminent experts discusses the structure, function, and mechanism of twenty five recently identified cytokines, including Interferon-t, Lymphotoxin-B, GIF, and Angiogenin among others. A special section is devoted to the new receptor ligands. Like the extremely successful first two volumes to which this book is an ideal complement, Volume III presents the information on this dynamic new dimension of medicine in clear, concise language with a focus on clinical application. As a set, these three volumes represent the most comprehensive reference on cytokines available.
