EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
Signalling within and between cells is an essential part of many biological processes, from the development of the body, to the activity of our immune system. Recent advances in molecular cell biology have allowed us to identify the components of signalling pathways, and examine how they interact to form the carefully orchestrated and controlled networks on which the complexity of a living organism is built.
Cell Signalling presents a carefully structured introduction to this intricate subject, introducing those conserved features which underlie many different extra-and intracellular signalling systems. Starting with an overview of cell signalling, highlighting its importance in many biological systems, the book goes on to explore the key components of extracellular and intracellular signalling mechanisms, before examining how these components come together to create the signalling pathways, which are so crucial to the survival of many living organisms.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

Simple and direct.  
The book is to the point without being too light. I read this cover to cover fo a course. I found the diagrams simple and easy to follow. The text includes simple descriptions of pathways and mechanisms of cell signaling. It also included some small pieces of information that were related and made the subject matter more memorable. It is a quick read with good points.
