| Summary: | The year 2010 marks the centennial for the identification of histamine and the first glimpse of its many physiological functions. From these initial findings a rich tapestry of research has uncovered roles for histamine in almost every physiological process with new findings emerging every year. These diverse roles of histamine have made for fertile ground for the discovery of novel therapeutics, and these drugs have been so successful that the term antihistamine has entered the common lexicon. This book is an attempt to give a snapshot in time as to the current understanding of the role of histamine in just one important therapeutic areainflammation. |
