Calcium and Cell Physiology

The purpose of the present volume is to give a comprehensive and up-to-date 2 survey of the nature and role of calcium ions (Ca +) in the regulation of cel­ 2 lular function. Since Ca + has gained in interest over the past years as a cel­ lular messenger in signal transduction, and since the discove...
