Reseña del editor

This book is a comprehensive review of the structure/function and biology of molecules belonging to the TGF-ß superfamily. Because molecules in this family have very diverse biological roles the editors have chosen to focus on the parts they play in the specific areas of inflammation and wound/fracture healing. Whilst molecules in the TGF-ß superfamily have been extensively studied, there are few, if any, publications which have taken a broad perspective on this family, most having chosen to focus on just one very small area. This book is therefore unusual in that it offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of the field, providing both in-depth and essential background material suitable for both clinicians and scientists alike.
