Signal Transduction in Cardiovascular System Health and Disease highlights the major contributions of different signaling systems in modulating normal cardiovascular functions and how a perturbation in these signaling events leads to abnormal cell functions and cardiovascular disorders.
This title is volume 3 in the new Springer series, Advances in Biochemistry in Health and Disease.
