Cellular signal processing : an introduction to the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction /

Marks, Klingmuller, and Muller-Decker (all, Univ. of Heidelberg, Germany) provide a refreshing approach to cell signaling through a holistic cell biology viewpoint. The authors provide detailed descriptions of tradition cell signaling pathways using classic cell examples. Marks and colleagues walk the reader through basic concepts, proceed to an information framework, and then provide detail and examples. This 17-chapter work is a useful reference for advanced readers (without the usual molecular cell background) seeking to understand cell signaling. It will complement collections for institutions that promote integrated learning across several disciplines in science, but may not be appropriate for libraries that already possess extensive holdings in cell signaling biology. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. L. Swatzell Southeast Missouri State University
