Introduces various adhesion molecules and their involvement in biological processes such as morphogenesis, inflammation, immunological reactions, blood coagulation, tumor metastasis, bone tissue remodeling, and transplant rejection. The 27 papers also examine their role as mechanoreceptors, co-stimulatory molecules, and leukocyte traffickers; in specific disease processes, such as those of atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory kidney diseases; in the interactions of leukocytes and platelets with artificial membranes during hemodialysis and cardio- pulmonary bypass; and in peritoneal host defense mechanisms. A few focus on the efficacy of strategies for inhibiting adhesion molecules. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
