Molecular Mechanisms of Inflammation: Induction, Resolution and Escape by Helicobacter pylori

This book focuses on immune reactions and interactions of humans with Helicobacter pylori - a human pathogen connected to gastritis, peptic ulcers and even gastric cancer. With nearly half of the world’s population colonized, it has been characterized as one of the most successful pathogens for more...
