Innovative Methods in Respiratory Biology
Stefan K. Hetz (Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany)
Anke Schmitz (University of Bonn, Germany)

The Krogh principle is good, but combined with innovative methods it is unbeatable. This symposium examines old and new innovative methods and some of the advances they have brought.
