Compendium of Inflammatory Diseases

Editors: Editor-in-chief: Parnham, Michael J.
Gives comprehensive insight into the components and processes of inflammation, it’s treatment and it’s clinical expression
Provides a reliable source of information for students, teachers, researchers and clinicians working in academia, hospital and industry
The dynamic and growing format of the encyclopedia allows regular updates to keep up with new discoveries

Inflammation has become one of the most exciting and rewarding areas of medical research. Recent years have seen a revolution in our understanding of how blood and tissue cells interact and of the intracellular mechanisms controlling their activation. This has revealed the underlying inflammatory pathology of many diseases and provided multiple new targets for anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory therapy. The Encyclopedia of Inflammatory Diseases will cover the following areas:
Inflammatory Processes and Cells
Inflammatory Diseases
Mediators of Inflammation
Pharmacology of Inflammation
Since inflammatory diseases and their therapy cover a broad range of scientific and medical fields, the encyclopedia will be co-edited by four international experts, a clinician and three researchers from the disciplines of immunology, biochemistry, and pharmacology, in this way providing students, basic and clinical scientists and practitioners in academia, hospitals and industry with valuable interlinked information.
This living project will serve as a reliable and comprehensive data pool for everybody working in inflammation research. Owing to its dynamic nature, it will grow with time and future editions, becoming an indispensible source of information for academia, clinical practitioners and industry.
