Endothelial Biomedicine

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages: 1500
Publication Date: 2007-09-03 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521853761

Binding: Hardcover
The
endothelium, the cell layer that forms the inner lining of blood
vessels, is a spatially distributed system that extends to all reaches
of the human body. Today, clinical and basic research demonstrates that
the endothelium plays a crucial role in mediating homeostasis and is
involved in virtually every disease, either as a primary determinant of
pathophysiology or as a victim of collateral damage. Indeed, the
endothelium has remarkable, though largely untapped, diagnostic and
therapeutic potential. This volume endeavors to bridge the
bench-to-bedside gap in endothelial biomedicine, with the goal of
advancing research and development and improving human health. The book
is the first to systematically integrate knowledge about the
endothelium from different organ-specific disciplines, including
neurology, pulmonary, cardiology, gastroenterology, rheumatology,
infectious disease, hematology-oncology, nephrology, nd dermatology.
Moreover, it is unique in its interdisciplinary approach, drawing on
expertise from such diverse fields as evolutionary biology, comparative
biology, molecular and cell biology, mathematical modeling and
complexity theory, translational research, and clinical medicine.
