Description: Showcases the role of apoptosis in the pathogenesis and resolution of lung injury. New data is presented on the potential role of heat-shock proteins in the pathophysiology of acute lung injury, as well as the influence of genetic factors in determining which patients are most susceptible to the development of this condition.
Notes: Includes bibliographic references and index.
