Myeloid Cells In Health And Disease - A Synthesis

Researchers and practitioners in a wide range of medical specialties mark a century of myeloid cell immunobiology by taking stock of past developments, reviewing current knowledge, and identifying future needs. They cover history; general aspects; specialization; recruitment, inflammation, and repair; recognition, signaling, and gene expression; secretion and defense; immunoregulation and infection; and metabolic and malignant disease. Among the topics are Paul Ehrlich and the early history of granulocytes, the regulatory function of eosinophils, toll-like receptor signaling and its inducible proteins, myeloid cell phenotypes in susceptibility and resistance to helminth parasite infections, and tumor-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
