Overview
The first book on this subject
Devoted to describing the molecular mechanisms of phagocytosis of dying cells and examining the impact of defective clearance of dying cells on the immune function and development of human diseases
Will be of great interest and value for students in medical, biomedical and biotechnological faculties and for researchers in biotechnological companies and of particular interest to cell biologists, immunologists and clinicians
Also gives an overview of the molecular pathways of apoptosis, necrosis and autophagy, as well as of the methods available for studying their clearance
Includes 59 illustrations (40 in color) to facilitate easy and clear understanding of what are sometimes quite complex phenomena
Contains sufficient cross-referencing and indexing to enable the reader to easily locate the sources or origins of the ideas elaborated in the different chapters
