This book addresses one of the major challenges of immunology today that is being directed to the translation of the rapidly emerging volume of basic science contributions of immunology to clinical medicine. In so doing, the book systemically introduces and discusses concepts, c…
Regulatory T cells and clinical application
A major process of rediscovery has taken place in the field of Cellular Immunology over the past 12 years--subsets of T lymphocytes exist that are specifically dedicated to regulation or as it should be more appropriately termed suppression of all aspects of immune responses. It…

"Providing an update on T-cell homing, this book clarifies our understanding of this complex process and offers guidance on potential therapies. It fulfills the needs of those involved in skin biology, skin toxicology, and dermatology, and proposes new directions for innovative …
Over the last decade, enormous progress in the understanding of T-cell homing has made it possible to identify the multitude of molecules involved, such as cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules, and to unravel their complex interactions resulting in controlled, non-rando…
Human immunosenescence contributes to morbidity and mortality in later life. The age-associated increasing incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease plateaus at around 80 years of age in industrialised countries, but death due to infectious disease continues to increase up …
