Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Derived from Elsevier's acclaimed Handbook of Cell Signaling, Intercellular Signaling in Development and Disease is a comprehensive work covering cell-cell signaling, signaling development, and signaling in disease.

This volume will be of interest to professionals, post-graduate researchers and graduate students in biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, biomedicine, structural biology, and systems biology.

-Emphasizes signaling in single cells that has extracellular manifestations that result from mediators effecting surrounding cells and controlling cell-cell interactions and tissue effects.

-Up-to-date research on signaling systems that provide new insights and targets for treating disease including lymphoid leukemia, breast cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, systemic sclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease.

-Covers material needed for young professionals joining this field of research and graduate students taking survey courses.

Edward A. Dennis is Distinguished Professor and former Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Professor in the Department of Pharmacology in the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Lipid Research and Director of the LIPID MAPS Consortium.

Ralph A. Bradshaw is Professor of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry; and Deputy Director, NIH/NCRR Mass Spectrometry Facility, University of California, San Francisco, as well as Professor Emeritus, Department of Physiology and Biophysics, College of Medicine, University of California, Irvine. He is also Co-editor of Molecular and Cellular Proteomics.

Ralph A. Bradshaw is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of California, Irvine. Prior to that he was on the faculty of the Department of Biological Chemistry, Washington University, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Biological Chemistry, University of California Irvine. He presently is Professor of Pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego. He served as president of FASEB, was the founding president of the Protein Society and was the treasurer of the ASBMB. He was the founding editor of Molecular and Cellular Proteomics. His research has focused on protein chemistry and proteomics, with emphasis on the structure and function of growth factors and their receptors, particularly nerve growth factor and fibroblast growth factor, and the involvement of receptor tyrosine kinases in cell signaling. He has also studied the role of proteolytic processing and N-terminal modification in protein stability and turnover.
