About this book
Osteoimmunology is a new and rapidly developing field of great importance. It deals with mechanisms and possible treatments of bone-related diseases, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis, that are caused by or associated with a malfunctioning immune system. This book describes the basics of bone biology and of the immune system and provides insight into the molecular mechanisms of bone diseases. In addition, clinical data is presented and put into context with the newest research findings. It was intended for all scientists and physicians working in immunology, pathophysiology and osteology.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is an introduction to the field of osteoimmunology for scientists and clinicians working in immunology, osteology, and pathophysiology. … The book covers an important, growing area of research that is also important to clinicians. … The book is quite appropriate for a broad audience of professionals and scientists. … This book is enjoyable to read and also functions as a fantastic reference. … Any student, physician, or scientist interested in immunology and bone health could benefit from reading this book.” (Jonathan Miner, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2013)
