CRC Press - The Immunological Basis of Asthma (Lung Biology)

The Immunological Basis of Asthma provides a deep look into the complex cellular processes that drive airway inflammation. This volume in the Lung Biology in Health and Disease series examines how specific cells, including dendritic cells, T and B lymphocytes, and mast cells, contribute to the initiation and progression of asthma. By looking at the roles of eosinophils, neutrophils, and macrophages, researchers can better understand the mechanisms behind airway regulation and repair. This text integrates recent advances in immunology and cell biology to help identify new therapeutic regimens for allergic and inflammatory diseases. With research contributions from nearly 60 international experts, it serves as a comprehensive resource for medical professionals and researchers seeking to understand the biological foundations of respiratory health. This book is a vital resource for those studying the cellular drivers of pulmonary disease and the development of new treatments.
