- Summary:
- Basic immunological principles and methods as they relate to cellular and subcellular processes of the endocrine system are important in understanding the underlying causes of endocrine disorders. Part of the Modern Endocrinology Series, this text covers a wide array of topics including pancreas development, immunogenetics, hypoparathyroidism, Graves' disease and vitiligo. The book is an integrated resource with a bench-to-bedside breadth that is useful to both basic scientists and healthcare professionals interested in endocrine autoimmune diseases.
