Provides Insight into How Cytokine Action Impacts the Physiology
and Pathology of the CNS. As with the first edition of Cytokines
and the CNS, this completely updated and revised edition introduces
neurobiologists to cytokine biology and immunologists to the unique
functions of cytokines in CNS physiology. The dramatically
accelerating interest in cytokines and cytokine/chemokine signaling
over the past several years has encouraged an explosion of
literature on cytokines. The similarity between factors involved in
inflammation or immunity, and those implicated in neural
development, physiology, and repair has become so apparent that
familiarity with cytokines must now be considered an essential
element in the neurobiologist's cognitive tool-kit. Conversely, for
immunobiologists, the concepts elaborated by neurobiologists to
understand developmental patterning and networked organ function
continue to evolve in such a way that comprehension of cytokine
action in the CNS can only enhance a further understanding of
immune system function. Cytokines and the CNS, Second Edition is
patterned after the first edition; however, the wealth of knowledge
now available adds a tremendous amount of insight and new
implications. To guarantee a fresh perspective, the editors made a
conscious choice to utilize an entirely new set of contributors,
all experts in various aspects of cytokine research. Cytokines and
the CNS, Second Edition starts with a chapter on the CNS, focusing
on pathological reactions to insult. Next, come three chapters on
cytokine biology, followed by four chapters that integrate cytokine
biology into basic CNS processes (development; inflammation;
immunity; degeneration/repair), after which five chapters apply
this body of knowledge to disease or pathology. The book closes
with a look at the application of cytokine biology to the treatment
of disease, a brand new area of research.
