Although of significant value with regard to the understanding of basic biological processes, such growth has made it difficult for both the scientist and clinician to read, comprehend, and interrelate this body of knowledge on a conceptual level. This type of information explosion has definitely occurred with regard to experimental studies on the reticuloendothelial system (RES), and as such I am pleased to have the opportunity to review and interrelate important experimental and clinical findings on the physiology and physiopathology of the RES.
