Description and Table of Contents
Description
Calcium signalling has now become one of the hottest topics in cell science. This book encompasses all aspects of calcium signalling, from methods of measuring calcium in cells, to the systems that control its concentration in the cytoplasm and in the organelles, to the molecular mechanisms for decoding its information. With twenty-seven chapters leading authorities, this book is the first comprehensive attempt to cover the topic and fills a gap in the rapidly expanding area. The chapters balance historical aspects and state-of-the-art information on latest developments.
