Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews: "We enjoyed reading this book because it contains much useful information and many interesting insights into liver immunology. The topic is of great interest because of continuing advances in our understanding of chronic viral infection of the liver, autoimmune liver disease, and liver transplantation. ! In summary, this book is a good attempt to provide broad coverage of liver immunology ! ." (Gideon Hirschfield and Jenny Heathcote, New England Journal of Medicine, April, 2008) "This book summarises the latest research on liver pathology and pathophysiology. ! There is an abundance of figures and tables, which are easy to understand, and a wide illustration of clinical applications that have been described in great detail. On the whole this is a very attractive book for students and medics who seek a comprehensive introduction into liver immunology and an update of the latest proceedings in clinical and translational research. I can therefore easily recommend this book for all liver enthusiasts." (York Aarbodem, Immunology News, November, 2008) Read more...
