The Prostaglandin System Endoperoxides, Prostacyclin, and Thromboxanes / edited by F. Berti.

Prostaglandin research is one of the most explosive fields in the biological science, and there have been a number of international symposia on this subject. In planning the second Advanced Course in Erice (Sicily) at the "Ettore Majorana" center it was realized that large congresses might...
