Birkhauser In Vivo Models of Inflammation Volume 1 2006 Edition by Christopher S. Stevenson, Lisa A. Marshall, Douglas W. Morgan
In Vivo Models of Inflammation (Vol. 1) provides biomedical researchers in both the pharmaceutical industry and academia with a description of the state-of-the-art animal model systems used to emulate diseases with components of inflammation. This second edition acts as a complement to the first, describing and updating the standard models that are most utilized for specific disease areas. New models are included exploring emerging areas of inflammation research.
