Semaphorins: Receptor and Intracellular Signaling Mechanisms - Receptor and intracellular signaling mechanisms

This book details our progress in understanding the receptor and intracellular signaling mechanisms utilized by semaphorins. It covers the entire semaphorin field from neurosciences to cardiovascular research and beyond, detailing all the latest techniques and results. The comprehensive overview of semaphorin biology and signaling presented in this book allows one to compare semaphorin functions between different biological systems.
