Cell-to-cell Communication: Inflammatory Reactions, Second Edition

Periodontal inflammation is played out on a plane no probe can reach: the chemical dialogue between cells. This second edition on DVD-ROM uses high-definition 3D animation to make that dialogue visible, along with the part cytokines play in gingivitis and in periodontitis. Bernd Stadlinger and Hendrik Terheyden include it in their Cell-to-Cell Communication series, devoted to intercellular signalling. It sits well in teaching and in the surgery, when it becomes necessary to explain why periodontal disease is an inflammatory phenomenon and not merely a bacterial one. English-language material.
