This advanced text covers the physiological processes relevant to inflammation. Although the problem is addressed from a vascular perspective, pathological aspects are also considered. The book centers on the recruitment of leukocytes to sites of injury and infection, their function in the tissue, and the eventual resolution of inflammation. It will be of use to a wide range of readers: graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and physicians and scientists in physiology, biomedical engineering, pathology, immunology, infectious disease, and related disciplines.
