The section on therapeutic modulation of inflammation includes new chapters on complement inhibitors, cytokine inhibitors, agents targeting transcription factors, and emerging technologies for the discovery of small-molecule therapeutics.

Review
New England Journal of Medicine -- Praise for the Second Edition (1992):|"It is an enormous undertaking to put together a textbook dealing with a subject as vast and diverse as inflammation. This task has been completed in impressive fashion in a book that will become the predominant reference in its field...There is no doubt that this book will be a valuable reference for students, fellows, clinicians, and basic scientists interested in inflammation."--New England Journal of Medicine
