Co-sponsored by the Inflammatory Research Association and the Arthritis Foundation, the Fourth International Conference of the Inflammation Research Association yielded new methods and insight from many of the top minds in rheumatology. This outstanding proceedings volume includes contributions by such noted researchers as K. Frank Austen, Timothy A. Springer, and David Wofsy, and offers the most current information on topics from autoimmunity to pharmacotherapy.
Including papers on both rheumatic and non-rheumatic illness, plus numerous illustrations, this is an excellent resource for researchers with an interest in the cause and control of inflammation.
