The book "Novel Cytokine Inhibitors" provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of cytokines as central mediators in inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, dermatitis, asthma, and multiple sclerosis. It highlights the complex mechanisms through which cytokines are involved in the development of symptoms and the regulation of immune cell functions. Additionally, the significance of cytokines in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular shock is discussed. The authors, experts from various fields including academic research, the pharmaceutical industry, and clinical pharmacology, present current advancements in the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs. The book covers various therapeutic intervention options and offers insights into the cellular sources of cytokines, specific receptors that induce cytokine synthesis, as well as the intracellular regulators of cytokine expression and activation. Clinical data is also considered where possible to illustrate the opportunities for drug development.
