| Summary: | Catecholamines are crucial pathophysiologic actors in such neuropsychiatric and cardiovascular disease processes as movement disorders, mood and thought disturbances, hypertension, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias and stroke. This important model system therefore bridges clinical medicine to basic cardiovascular and neurobiological research. Within the basic sciences, chromaffin cell biology benefits from advances in neurobiology, pharmacology, endocrinology and cardiovascular biology. This volume emphasizes the role of new technologies in chromaffin cell biology, especially emerging developments in bioinformatics for the practising chromaffin cell biologist. Other papers tackle fast-breaking advances in such areas as chromaffin cells and the pathophysiology of human disease, developmental biology of the chromaffin system, new optical and electrochemical probes of intracellular events, and new model cell types for the chromaffin cell biologist. |
