Epithelia are highly organized but complex structures, subserving numerous functions, including immunological defence. The use of pharmacological tools in these systems is increasing, which is improving our understanding of epithelial immunobiology. This volume adopts a step-by-step approach, whereby each chapter builds upon the previous one, progressively adding important foundation information, culminating in a series of chapters concerning particular epithelia, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal and ocular. The result is a comprehensive but integrated treatise of epithelial function and its immunopharmacology, which aims to serve as an appropriate starting point at which the clinical pulmonologist and the research scientist can obtain an appreciation of some aspects of epithelial immunopharmacology as they are currently understood.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAirway mucosal innervation.\u003cbr\u003eAirway epithelial inflammation and its functional consequences.\u003cbr\u003eImmunopharmacology of epithelial cell-virus interactions.\u003cbr\u003eGastroduodenal defence: role of epithelial factors.\u003cbr\u003eRole of the epithelium in defence of the small and large intestine.\u003cbr\u003eImmunoreactivity and inflammation in renal epithelia.\u003cbr\u003eImmunological barriers in the eye.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Pharmacology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Pharmacology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Pharmacology%20%5BMMG%5D%22\"\u003eMMG\u003c\/a\u003e], Pathology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Pathology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Pathology%20%5BMMF%5D%22\"\u003eMMF\u003c\/a\u003e], Immunology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Immunology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Immunology%20%5BMJCM%5D%22\"\u003eMJCM\u003c\/a\u003e], Histology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Histology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Histology%20%5BMFCH%5D%22\"\u003eMFCH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46649198870808,"sku":"9780122880308","price":90.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780122880308_7eaa21e4-46ee-47a8-b34c-143abac37ea3.jpg?v=1695006744","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/immunopharmacology-of-epithelial-barriers-hardback-9780122880308","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
