Angiogenesis in inflammation: mechanisms and clinical correlates
Seed, M.P.
Walsh, D.A.
Angiogenesis in Inflammation: Mechanisms and Clinical Correlates develops current knowledge on the mechanisms at the molecular and cellular levels as they relate to inflammation, including acute and chronic inflammation, neurogenic initiation, and the role of the multiple cellular components that comprise inflammation: granulocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, dendritic cells and lymphocytes. This is related to inflammatory disease: not only the familiar angiogenesis dependent diseases of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, but also loci such as the lung, gastric ulcers, the eye with uveitis, wound healing and periodontal disease and their therapy, how this knowledge may be used in the discovery of novel therapeutics. The volume thus brings together experts in each of these fields to link the molecular and cellular processes in angiogenesis to those of inflammation and disease, culminating in a discourse on areas for futuretherapies. INDICE: From the contents The fibroblast and myofibroblast in inflammatoryangiogenesis.- Dendritic cells and angiogenesis.- Chemokines and cytokines ininflammatory angiogenesis.- The lymphocyte in inflammatory angiogenesis.- Neurogenic angiogenesis and inflammation.- The angiogenic drive in chronic inflammation: hypoxia and the cytokine milieu.- The fibrinolytic system.- The macrophage in inflammatory angiogenesis.- Modelling of angiogenesis in inflammation.- Angiogenesis in inflammatory arthritis.- Angiogenesis in oral inflammatory disease.
