Histamine in Normal and Malignant Cell Proliferation

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 709))

Abstract

Histamine is a biogenic amine widely distributed throughout the body. Given the observations that histamine can be induced and made available in an unstored diffusible form in tissues undergoing rapid growth (such as tumors and regenerating liver), it could have a role beyond inflammatory and allergic responses.
