Description
This volume records the proceedings of the 10th Bodensee Symposium on Microcirculation, focusing on capillary functions and white cell interaction. Capillary morphology, capillary dynamics and capillary perfusion are prominent topics of the early presentations, whereas later papers deal with the properties of white blood cells as related to their interaction with the microvascular endothelium, in particular during postischemic reperfusion.
