Chapter 11 Photoacoustics — A Novel Tool for the Study of Aquatic Photosynt…

However, there is a broad range of inflammatory diseases which involve chronic activation of the immune system and, as a result, chronic persistent inflammation. We have been studying the metabolic consequences of chronic inflammatory diseases with the aim of identifyin…
