Reviews

<br> A very clear, comprehensive and compact guide which would be of value to anyone working in the field of cytokine/growth factor (GF) research. This is a most informative and useful book, highly recommended for both established researchers and those just entering the field. --Australia and New Zealand Society for Cell Biology<br>
