Integrative Aspects of Calcium Signalling

About this book

Here is the first effort in a single volume to cover all of the integrative functions of calcium signalling - how changes in intracellular calcium coordinate a variety of coherent cellular responses. Written by a team of internationally established researchers, "Integrative Aspects of Calcium Signalling" provides the latest experimental data and concepts, bringing together a detailed analysis of the events, processes, and functions regulated by calcium signalling. This is a unique resource for professionals and students of physiology, biophysics, neurobiology, biochemistry, and all related fields.
