CELL SIGNALLING

by John T. Hancock

Published by Oxford University Press. 2010

Slightly better than very good condition. Third Edition. Starting with an overview of cell signalling and highlighting its importance in many biological systems, the book goes on to explore the key components of extracellular and intracellular signalling mechanisms, before examining how these components came together to create signalling pathways, which are so crucial to the survival of living organisms. Pictorial cardwraps. Diagrams. xxii and 341 pages including index.

Reprint. Mark to lower edge of rear cover (label now missing). Contents clean.
