Cell Injury and Protection in the Gastrointestinal Tract : From Basic Sciences to Clinical Perspectives

This work comprises papers presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Cell Injury and Protection in the Gastrointestinal Tract: From Basic Sciences to Clinical Perspectives, held in 1995 in Hungary. Papers discuss emerging research in, and mechanisms of, gastrointestinal disease.
