Preface
We were just about to organize the 7th International Symposium on Serpin Biology, Structure, and Function (Serpins 2014) when Springer approached us with the idea to edit a book on topics of “vascular biology.” Since the meeting, which then took place in March/April 2014 in Leogang, Austria, was a great success, it was clear to us that a book reviewing recent advances in the field of serpins in connection with the serpin meeting is needed by the scientific community. We therefore invited speakers of that meeting to contribute a chapter to a book about serpins and were very pleased that most of them agreed. In addition we could get on board some renowned scientists who were not able to attend the conference but who nevertheless agreed to contribute a chapter. For those who are not members of the serpin community, the term “serpin” in an acr
