Pharmacology of the Skin I Pharmacology of Skin Systems Autocoids in Normal and Inflamed Skin
The recent interest in the pharmacology of the skin and the treatment of its diseases has come about for two reasons. The first is a realisation that many aspects of pharmacology can be studied as easily in human skin, where they may be more relevant to human physiology and diseases, as in animal mo...
