Adenosine Receptors: Therapeutic Aspects for

An overview of how adenosine and inosine regulate immune responses, Adenosine Receptors: Therapeutic Aspects for Inflammatory and Immune Diseases covers aspects of molecular biology, cell biology, and pharmacology. It addresses the role of adenosine receptors in regulating the function of various cell types involved in immune responses. It features data derived from studies using cutting-edge techniques. It discusses disease states such as autoimmune diseases, asthma, atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and cancer. With contributions from international experts, the text is ideal for researchers in pharmaceutical companies, academic scientists, and clinicians
