Its  extensive surface is formed by a single layer of rapidly renewing  cells, the intestinal epithelial cells. These cells are in contact  with a number of other cell populations, including the largest part of  the immune system, and with an excessive luminal antigen load,  including vast numbers of bacteria. Furthermore two more organs,  namely liver and pancreas, are part of the system. The rapid renewal  of the epithelial layer, the interactions of different cell types, and  the balance between cell proliferation and death, have been  fascinating subjects of studies in recent years. Much has been  learned, and cytokines have emerged as important mediators for all  these interactions and homeostatic systems. \u003cbr\u003e  This book, the proceedings of the Falk Symposium 113 on `Cytokines and  Cell Homeostasis in the Gastrointestinal Tract', held in Regensburg,  Germany, 16-18 September 1999, provides a forum for basic scientists  and interested clinicians to exchange ideas, to discuss concepts and  to plan further studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792387589\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 410\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541624975500,"sku":"9780792387589","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792387589","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
