Title: Molecular and Cellular Signaling (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering)
First published: March 22, 2005
Description: "Molecular and Cellular Signaling provides an introduction to molecular and cellular signaling in biological systems with an emphasis on the underlying physical principles. The text is aimed at upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and individuals in medicine and pharmacology interested in broadening their understanding of how cells regulate and coordinate their core activities and how diseases arise when these regulatory systems malfunction, as well as those in chemistry, physics, and computer science interested in pursuing careers in biological and medical physics, bioinformatics, and systems biology."

"The book includes background information and review sections, and chapters on signaling in the immune, endocrine (hormonal), and nervous systems. It has chapters on cancer, apoptosis, and gene regulation, and contains chapters on bacteria and viruses. In those chapters not specifically devoted to pathogens, connections between diseases, drugs, and signaling are made. Each chapter also features a problem set to facilitate further discussion and understanding."--Jacket.
