Exploring Immunology (eBook, ePUB)

Concepts and Evidence

Beschreibung

Knapp und präzise erklärt dieses einführende Lehrbuch der Immunologie die Funktion des Immunsystems anhand sorgfältig ausgewählter Beispiele aus der klinischen Praxis und dem Experiment. Von Büchern mit ähnlichem Themenspektrum unterscheidet es sich durch den klar evidenzbasierten Ansatz. Die Autoren -- ein erfahrener Dozent und ein angesehener Forscher -- regen dabei stets zur kritischen Reflexion des gelernten Stoffs an. Based on examples using clinical and experimental data, this concise introductory textbook provides an insight into the immune system, prompting readers to ask critical questions in order to further advance our understanding.
