G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Immune Response and Regulation, Volume 136 brings together the well-established paradigms and emerging concepts related to the roles of GPCRs in immune response and regulation. Chapters in this book discuss not only the well-known aspects of GPCR signaling in immunology that are already available in textbooks, but also presents many emerging paradigms that have not yet been reported in classical textbooks. Each chapter presents a forward-looking discussion, providing a glimpse of the tremendous potential associated with the specific receptor systems discussed. Brings together contributions from leading experts in the area of GPCR biologyDiscusses current paradigms and the future potential of understanding GPCR signaling in immune response and regulationPresents the first of its kind book to focus on specific GPCR systems in various aspects of immunology, all brought together in one volume INDICE: 1.
