Recently, considerable progress and exciting new  insights into pathogenesis and resulting therapeutic strategies have  been made. Replication of hepatitis B and C viruses and details of  life cycle in the host have been well characterised. Immunology in  general and immunopathology of the liver in viral and autoimmune  hepatitis have shown more specific mechanisms of host defence and new  models of autoimmune aggression have been developed. The role of  apoptosis in liver damage is now well appreciated and has been  analyzed precisely. Essential steps of fibrogenesis as a consequence  of chronic liver damage are better understood by now and new  strategies for its prevention have evolved. Chronic hepatitis is the  leading cause of liver cell carcinoma, the molecular basis of which  has been more clearly elucidated. This increasing knowledge will  provide a sound basis for more effective therapy in chronic hepatitis  and its life-threatening consequences.\u003cbr\u003e  This book, the proceedings of the Falk Workshop on Chronic Hepatitis,  held in Cologne, Germany, on January 27-28, 2000, brings together  experts from different fields of research such as virology,  immunology, pathology, cell and molecular biology, as well as clinical  medicine, and disusses in depth the novel findings in basic and  clinical research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792387633\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 282\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541626056844,"sku":"9780792387633","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792387633.jpg?v=1771517832","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792387633","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
