The Pulmonary Endothelium is a uniquely comprehensive compendium of our current knowledge of the pulmonary endothelium and is the first book dedicated specifically to the subject, offering insights into current and future approaches to management. The text provides the clinician with the most up-to-date information on one of the core physiological processes in airway disease and is an ideal point of reference for both postgraduates and professionals – specialist physicians in pulmonology and allergy and workers in biomedical and pharmaceutical research.Content: Chapter 1 Development of the Pulmonary Endothelium in Development of the Pulmonary Circulation: Vasculogenesis and Angiogenesis (pages 1–24): Margaret A.
