Advances in Second Messenger and Phosphoprotein Research. V. 31 Signal Transduction in Health and Disease - Advances in Second Messenger & Phosphoprotein Research S.

This volume contains papers presented at the Ninth International Conference on Second Messengers and Phosphoproteins. The papers highlight advances in the rapidly-evolving field of signal transduction. The findings presented should be significant to researchers in all biomedical fields, including pharmacology, molecular biology, the neurosciences and physiology. The contributors offer insights into fundamental cell signalling mechanisms and explore the role of these mechanisms in physiological and pathophysiological responses in a variety of systems. Coverage includes topics such as growth factors and tyrosine protein kinases; MAP kinases; Fos-Jun and gene regulation; special signalling systems; protein phosphatases and metabolic pathways; calcium and ion channels; cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP; and receptors and G proteins. The findings presented should be significant to researchers in all biomedical fields, including pharmacology, molecular biology, the neurosciences and physiology.
