CRC Press TNF Superfamily - Medical Intelligence Unit Book

Explore the complex biological functions of the tumor necrosis factor/receptor [TNF/TNFR] superfamily with this specialized medical text from CRC Press. As part of the Medical Intelligence Unit (Unnumbered) series, this book provides a deep look into the more than 20 transmembrane proteins that define this group. Each protein features conserved N-terminal cysteine-rich domains [CRDs] in the extracellular ligand binding region, making them essential to various biological processes. This resource covers the wide tissue distribution of these proteins and their roles in lymphoid and neuronal development. Readers will gain a better understanding of how these members contribute to innate and adaptive immune responses, as well as cellular homeostasis. The chapters are organized to address the most significant functions within the TNF/TNFR superfamily, making it a valuable addition to your medical library for studying immunology and internal medicine.
