Wenner-Gren

This book gives comprehensive information on how some recent breakthroughs in connective tissue biochemistry/cell biology shed light on integrated physiological processes.

Contents:

Chapters are divided into 4 sections:

  • Loose connective tissues - an integrated approach
  • Cartilage and bone - an integrated approach
  • Vascularity - an integrated approach
  • Transcapillary transport

Readership:
This book will be of interest to postgraduates and to research scientists in academia and also those in the pharmaceutical industry with ongoing programs in oncology and inflammation.

Reviews:
"The standard of presentation in the book is high, and the sections are well referenced. The book is useful in filling a niche dealing with tissues and their functions from a range of molecular, biophysical and biological standpoints. I recommend it strongly to any researcher wishing to gain more insight into molecular approaches in tissue physiology and to those interested in the methods of experimental analysis used to tackle the physical aspects of biological functions."
Matrix Biology

"It is impossible in a short review to do justice to all 21 chapters in this book. Without exception they are all of high quality and by acknowledged experts in their fields. The book provides very useful reviews which, because they are well written, should be comprehensible by newcomers to this field of research. Finally the juxtaposition of matrix biology and capillary morphology and physiology provides interesting new ideas."
