Signal transduction pathways are molecular circuits that define how cells communicate with each other and respond to their environment.
The first half of the book provides the conceptual framework, explaining the formation and action of second messengers, particulary cyclic nucleotides and calcium, and the mediation of signal pathways by GTP-binding proteins.
A reference on cellular signaling processes, the third edition of Signal Transduction continues in the tradition of previous editions, in providing a historical overview of how the concept of stimulus-response coupling arose in the early ...
Providing an overview of recent developments in the field of signal transduction, this volume emphasizes direct clinical significance. As such, topics like nuclear receptors, apoptosis, growth factors, cell cycles and cancer are examined.
Written for those with a basic understanding of molecular and cell biology, the book will be of particular interest to graduate students and researchers who need to grasp the principles of signal transduction.
This book presents the latest research in the field.
