Airways Smooth Muscle: Peptide Receptors, Ion Channels and Signal Transduction, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1995 Coll. Respiratory Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy

This is the second volume of the "Airways Smooth Muscle" series to focus on the pharmacological control of airways smooth muscle tone. Each monograph concentrates on the expression and distribution of peptide receptors and describes how their activation may modulate airways calibre.
