Cytokines are peptide or protein
cell-to-cell signaling molecules that play vital roles in normal cell and
tissue homeostasis, as well as in responses to infectious agents. Because of their importance in virtually all forms of pathology, the pharmaceutical industry is devoting great effort to develop methods for the control of cytokine synthesis or action.This is the first volume to bring together experts from academia and the pharmaceutical industry to discuss problems and solutions in the
therapeutic control of cytokines. An introductory section reviews the biology, physiology, and pathology of cytokines. Internationally recognized scientists then discuss the development of low molecular…
