Richard D. Granstein, Thomas A. Luger - Neuroimmunology of the Skin: Basic Science to Clinical PracticePublished: 2008-12-03 | ISBN: 3540359869 | PDF | 264 pages | 4.78 MB
Much anecdotal information has suggested an influence of psychology and
the nervous system on immunity within the skin and the expression of
inflammatory skin disorders. Recent years have seen an explosion of
knowledge providing a scientific basis for important regulatory
interactions between the nervous system, the endocrine system and the
immune system within the skin. The results of recent investigations have
important implications, not only for an understanding of cutaneous
immunity, but also for the development of novel treatments for diseases
involving abnormal inflammation or immune reactivity within the skin.
This book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary review of the
molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and clinical aspects of
nervous system–immune system interactions within the skin. It includes
contributions from leading world experts in these areas. The contents
are relevant to both investigators and clinicians interested in the
skin, its functions and its disorders.
