Description
Pulmonary Neuroepithelial Bodies (NEB) are clusters of innervated amine- and peptide-producing cells distributed throughout the airway mucosa and are thought to function as hypoxia-sensitive airway chemoreceptors involved in respiratory control or other pulmonary homeostatic mechanisms. This book reviews recent advances in the cellular and molecular biology of NEB cells, with emphasis on the mechanism of oxygen sensing, as well as morphology, ontogeny, molecular markers and in vitro models. The possible functions during neonatal adaptation are also discussed. Standing orders placed before 31 December 1996 will receive a 10% reduction off the list price of all volumes published within the series between the order date and 31 December 1997. This offer is valid as of June 1996, on a firm order basis only.
