Phagocyte Production and Function Following Burn Injury (Medical Intelligence Unit) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

An overview of the past work, current dilemmas, and future directions of clinical and basic research in the areas of postburn myelopoiesis and neutrophil physiology. It presents the bone marrow-bone marrow stroma and its circulating progeny as an integrated organ system that is regulated by a series of stimulatory and inhibitory cytokines and is prone to failure after severe burns, trauma, or sepsis. At the cellular level it describes the molecular and biochemical events that define both normal and abnormal neutrophil function. Model systems of postburn myelopoiesis and neutrophil function are developed in order to create logical, mechanistic ways of thinking about the production and function of neutrophils after burn injury.
