Overview

This volume from the ""Principles of Medical Biology"" series is concerned with membranes and cell signalling. The series is a treatise in 25 modules providing a holistic treatment of the main medical disciplines. The basic sciences, including most of the achievements in cell and moledcular biology, have been blended with pathology and clinical medicine. The subject matter covered in preclinical and clinical courses has been reduced by almost one-third.
