The oral mucosa is a unique collection of tissues that constitutes a highly active environment with its own unique microflora and homeostatic interaction with the innate and adaptive immune responses. As an immune tissue the oral mucosa was somewhat neglected in the past owing to the tendency to assume similarity to the gut mucosa. More recently it has become apparent that the oral mucosa is a complex environment and, like the esophageal mucosa, has more in common with vaginal tissue than with the gut. Furthermore, the ability of the oral mucosa to act as an immune inductive site has made it an attractive area of research in terms of desensitization for allergic reactions and possibly autoimmune responses. In this book, recognized experts in the field provide up-to-date coverage of all aspects of the structure and function of the oral mucosa, reflecting important recent advances in knowledge, including at the molecular level. 000826717 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 7, 2018). 000826717 650_0 $$aOral mucosa$$vHandbooks, manuals, etc. 000826717 650_0 $$aOral mucosa$$xDiseases$$vHandbooks, manuals, etc. 000826717 7001_ $$aBergmeier, Lesley Ann,$$eeditor. 000826717 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783319560649 000826717 852__ $$bebk 000826717 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-56065-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000826717 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:826717$$pGLOBAL_SET 000826717 980__ $$aEBOOK 000826717 980__ $$aBIB 000826717 982__ $$aEbook 000826717 983__ $$aOnline 000826717 994__ $$a92$$bISE
