Myeloid cells in health and disease: a synthesis

The structure, functions, and interactions of myeloid cells have long been the focus of research and therapeutics development.

Yet, much more remains to be discovered about the complex web of relationships that makes up the immune systems of animals.

Scientists today are applying genome-wide analyses, single-cell methods, gene editing, and modern imaging techniques to reveal new subclasses of differentiated myeloid cells, new receptors and cytokines, and important interactions among immune cells.

In this book, Siamon Gordon has assembled an international team of esteemed scientists to provide their perspectives of myeloid cells during innate and adaptive immunity.
