Synopsis

Signalling within and between cells is an essential part of many biological processes, from the development of the body, to the activity of our immune system. Recent advances in molecular cell biology have allowed us to identify the components of signalling pathways, and examine how they interact to form the carefully orchestrated and controlled networks on which the complexity of a living organism is built. Cell Signalling presents a carefully structured introduction to this intricate subject, introducing those conserved features which underlie many different extra-and intracellular signalling systems. Starting with an overview of cell signalling, 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 come together to create the signalling pathways, which are so crucial to the survival of many living organisms. Online Resource Centre Includes figures from the book available to download to facilitate lecture preparation

Revue de presse

Complexity and specificity are the hallmarks of cell signalling, yet Hancock in this third edition has gone a long way to simplify these complicated processes. His signalling examples are clever and well-conceived, his writing descriptive and his passion for his subject infectious ... this is marvellous value for money and is a worthy companion to an undergraduate/postgraduate reference libary. (John P. Phelan, Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland in The Biochemist)

I think the summary at the end of the chapter is great - its gives key points that can be memorised or used as an index to check the content covered in this chapter. The points contain enough information to stand alone as facts, but are not too wordy. The further reading section is also really useful, giving references to all the papers mentioned in the chapter allowing quick and easy discovery of more detailed information that was touched on in the text. (Charlotte Dunbar, 2nd year biology student, University of York)
