Mechanosensitive Ion Channels, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2008 Mechanosensitivity in Cells and Tissues Series, Vol. 1
Langue : Anglais
This book explores the latest data dealing with mechanosensitive channels research results. It was compiled by a group of internationally recognized scientists leading in the field of mechanosensitive ion channels or mechanically gated channels and signaling cascades research. Key problems of cell mechanobiology are also discussed. As a whole, the volume dwells on the major issues of mechanical stress influencing the ion channels and intracellular signaling pathways.
