Inflammatory Processes: Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Opportunities

In November 1998 many of the key leaders of new drug discovery forinflammatory diseases gathered at Hershey, Pennsylvania for the 9thInternational Conference of the Inflammation Research Association. TheConference was held over a five day period and provided a stimulatingenvironment for the open exchange of important advances in basicinflammation research as well as new drug discovery and development.This book encompasses some of the highlights of several presentationsmade at the Conference. It contains some of the latest and importantdevelopments in the field of inflammation research.Topics include the status of eotaxin and chemokines in asthma andallergy, signal transduction and regulation of diverse mediators such asthe JNK group of MAP kinases, TNF and IL-1 signaling of NF-kB as well asregulators of AP-1, macrophage metalloproteinases, lymphotoxin andfurther insights into the role of MCP-1 in disease. Also discussed aredrug targets in rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, fibrotic diseases,...
