An in-depth look at cutting-edge research on the body's innate
immune system

Innate immunity is the body's first line of protection against
potential microbial, viral, and environmental attacks, and the skin
and oral mucosa are two of the most powerful barriers that which we
rely on to stay well. The definitive book on the subject, Innate
Immune System of Skin and Oral Mucosa: Properties and Impact in
Pharmaceutics, Cosmetics, and Personal Care Products provides a
comprehensive overview of these systems, including coverage of
antimicrobial peptides and lipids and microbial challenges and
stressors that can influence innate immunity.

Designed to help experts and newcomers alike in fields like
dermatology, oral pathology, cosmetics, personal care, and
pharmaceuticals, the book is filled with suggestions to assist
research and development. Looking at the many challenges facing the
innate immune system, including the impact of topically applied
skin products and medications, Innate Immune System of Skin and
Oral Mucosa paves the way for next generation treatment avenues,
preventative approaches, and drug development.
