Asthma
As asthma increases in prevalence and severity around the world, the need for understanding its basic mechanisms and for developing better drugs and preventative measures becomes more urgent. In Asthma: Mechanisms and Protocols, K. Fan Chung and Ian Adcock bring together the first collection of labo...
