Pulmonary Biology in Health and Disease was conceived as a
companion to a handful of expensive, multivolume textbooks. This is
part of the promising trend to publish shorter textbooks on the
subjects of lung biology and remodeling. Whoever is familiar with
human biology and the far-reaching consequences of the genome and
postgenome revolutions is apt to concede that the centerpiece in
remodeling lies in the ?eld of m- ecular cardiobiology. The ?eld of
molecular cardiobiology includes the syndrome of chronic heart
failure as well as ischemic cardioprotection. By analogy, the
centerpiece in pulmonobiology is chronic asthma. Key topics in the
present volume include s- naling mechanisms regulating the
endothelium and smooth muscle cells,in?ammatory cells, mediators,
airway surface liquid, and pharmacological therapy that focuses on
how in?amed airways are altered. Written primarily for predoctoral
and postdoctoral graduates in the basic medical sciences, the
medical student and postdoctoral physician, graduates in the allied
s- ences, nurses, pulmonologists, and physicians in critical care
medicine, this book p- vides many of the fundamentals of
contemporary pulmonology. It is divided into several parts devoted
to the control of respiration, arterial chemoreceptors,muscles of
ventilation, pulmonary physiology, and gas exchange in health,
exercise, and disease. Special emphasis is placed on emphysema and
its pathobiology, acute lung injury, asthma and inhaled toxicants.
Because the ?eld is always evolving, each chapter includes
recommended readings that lead the reader to sources of additional
information, such as the review on remodeling of the blood gas
barrier by West and Mathieu-Costello.
