EBOOK FIBROCYTES IN HEALTH AND DISEASE

This volume provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary overview of fibrocytes, written by the main researchers in the field. It is aimed at a broad audience of scientists and clinicians with an interest in the role of circulating fibrocytes in the etiopathogenesis of different fibrosing disorders, atherosclerosis, autoimmunity, and cancer.Sample Chapter(s)Chapter 1: Hematopoietic Origin of Fibrocytes (96 KB)Contents: Hematopoietic Origin of Fibrocytes (Mehrdad Abedi)Fibrocytes and Collagen Producing Cells of the Peripheral Blood (Richard H Gomer and Darrell Pilling)Regulatory Pathways of Fibrocyte Development (Darrell Pilling and Richard H Gomer)Fibrocyte Differentiation Pathways (Ellen C Keeley, Borna Mehradand Robert M Strieter)Immunoregulation of Fibrocyte Differentiation (Matthias Mack, Marianne Niedermeier and Barbara Reich)The Role of Fibrocytes in Wound Repair and Hypertrophic Scarring (Abelardo Medina, Jie Ding, Moein Momtazi, and Edward E Tredget)Fibrocytes in Asthma (Sabrina Mattoli, Marek Barczyk and Alberto Bellini)Fibrocytes in the Interstitial Lung Diseases (Borna Mehrad, Ellen C.
