The ordered growth and functioning of animal cells requires the transfer of information from one part of the cell to another. This textbook brings together and puts into perspective current knowledge about intracellular signalling systems from the initial signal (eg. binding of a neurotransmitter to a receptor) to the final response. It discusses the finely balanced interactions between the different signalling pathways which ensure that the correct response occurs, and the...
More DescriptionThe ordered growth and functioning of animal cells requires the transfer of information from one part of the cell to another. This textbook brings together and puts into perspective current knowledge about intracellular signalling systems from the initial signal (eg. binding of a neurotransmitter to a receptor) to the final response. It discusses the finely balanced interactions between the different signalling pathways which ensure that the correct response occurs, and the consequences of abnormalities in the systems. Written in a clear and authoritative style, with many illustrations, it will be invaluable to students on advanced undergraduate and graduate courses. It also provides a detailed introduction to and review of this central topic for researchers in cell biology and related disciplines.
