Synopsis

The Cytokines of the Immune System catalogs cytokines and links them to physiology and pathology, providing a welcome and hugely timely tool for scientists in all related fields. In cataloguing cytokines, it lists their potential for therapeutic use, links them to disease treatments needing further research and development, and shows their utility for learning about the immune system. This book offers a new approach in the study of cytokines by combining detailed guidebook-style cytokine description, disease linking, and presentation of immunologic roles.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Zlatko Dembic, a distinguished scientist and medical doctor, has dedicated his career to exploring the intersections of medicine and biology, particularly in molecular and cellular immunology. Over the last two decades of the 20th century, he worked at prestigious institutions such as the Max-Planck-Institute for Biology in Germany, the Basel Institute for Immunology in Switzerland, and Hoffman-La Roche AG. His team was the first to identify genes underlying T-cell specificity and recognition, and they led the molecular cloning of key human cytokine receptors like the interferon-gamma receptor and the tumor necrosis factor receptor-2. In 1995, Dr. Dembic joined the Institute of Immunology at the University of Oslo, expanding his research to include T-cell development, cancer immunobiology, and immunogenetics. He proposed the "integrity" model of the immune system, emphasizing immunity's role in defense and symbiont selection and has over 100 scientific publications in many high impact factor scientific journals.
