Overview

This single volume sets out to cover all of the integrative functions of calcium signalling, for example how changes in intracellular calcium co-ordinate a variety of coherent cellular responses. Written by a team of internationally established researchers, the book provides the most recent experimental data and concepts, bringing together a detailed analysis of the events, processes, and functions regulated by calcium signalling. It provides a resource for professionals and students of physiology, biophysics, neurobiology, biochemistry, and all related fields.
