A dozen studies report on recent research findings for clinicians and scientists working in immunology. They discuss such topics as the immunobiology of autoimmunity, autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome types I and II, insights into the molecular mechanisms of the autoimmune thyroid diseases, type I d

The incidence of autoimmune diseases is increasing worldwide, and the search for better management of these diseases and even for a cure is being pursued by scientists from many disciplines. Tools from the areas of genetics, neuroscience, cell biology, virology, and infectious disease are being applied to the problem and are yielding useful results. This is the second volume of a series of four on autoimmunity, and findings related to particular organs, organ systems, and diseases are presented. The focus in Part B is on genetics and advances in treatment. Part A presents new principles in autoimmunity and new diagnostic tools. See Parts C and D for clinical venues in autoimmunity.

Hardbound. The volume contains the papers from the 4th International Symposium on Uveitis (ISU)held in Yokohama, Japan. The spirited discussions showed how astounding the progress in the field of uveitis has been in the past several years. The ISU explored many aspects of the broad fields of uveitis and ocular immunology. Although there is no clarity in the mechanism and pathophysiology of uveitis, many research findings were reported by a number of disciplines ranging from clinical findings to molecular biology. This book contains scientific information that can be useful asa reference to those interested in uveitis and ocular immunology. Furthermore, it can be utilized as a solid foundation for future work in the field.
