Reviews for Fundamentals of Inflammation
'… a comprehensive volume that brings together many important and contemporary aspects of inflammation. This book will serve as an excellent guide to the current understanding of how 'inflammation' contributes in such diverse ways to disease processes, and to the resolution of the same through natural processes or clinical treatment.' The Quarterly Review of Biology
