Opis

The 15 papers cover pulmonary circulation, gene manipulation in the vasculature, thrombosis and hypertension, inflammation and angiogenesis, cerebral circulation and atherosclerosis, and gene transfer in the vasculature. Specific topics include the nitric oxide modulation of gene expression, the rol

Recenzje

"An excellent overview....We convey [to] our readers and subscribers to buy absolutely this book which goes farther than any other previous one, to show that we have to consider now the endothelium as a full partner of the general physiology and of the pathology of humans and animals."
