Written by expert contributors, this much-needed book emphasizes a quantitative and comprehensive perspective to explore the many dimensions of cellular Ca2+ signalling. Leading researchers in the field of calcium signaling present key aspects of this process in cells, starting with Ca2+ entry into the cell, its uptake from the cytosol by organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, and the actions of Ca2+ in turn on a variety of important cellular regulatory processes. This research and reference text should prove useful to a wide readership, from students to researchers at many different levels, particularly in physiology, pharmacology, or biomedical engineering.
Key Features:
- Places a strong emphasis on Quantitative Biophysics
- Acts as a unique resource for state-or-the-art methods to study Ca2+ signals
- Includes emerging perspectives that link mechanistic insights to pathophysiological aspects of Ca2+ signalling
- Discusses a historical perspective on the development of key ideas in the field
