About the Book

Signalling within and between cells is an essential part of many biological processes, from the development of the body, to the activity of our immune system. Cell Signalling presents a carefully structured introduction to this intricate subject, introducing those conserved features that underlie many different extra- and intracellular signalling systems. Starting with an overview of cell signalling and highlighting its importance in many biological system, the book goes on to explore the key components extracellular and intracellular signalling mechanisms before examining how these components come together to create signalling pathways, which are so crucial to the survival of many living organisms.

Review :
`Review from previous edition John Hancock's Cell Signalling is a straightforward introduction to a rapidly expanding field of biology. Its unintimidating writing style, simple and uncluttered figures, and competitive price make it a wonderful introductory text for undergraduates. The chapters are informative without being inundated with so much detail that it overwhelms beginning cell signalling students. The text is structured well for a one-semester introduction to this exciting topic ... I will happily choose it again for my course.' Laura K Palmer, Penn State `Overall, one of the best that I have seen over the past 15 years in that it covers a large range of topics within a short text.' Brad Stith, University of Colorado `This is a valiant attempt to bring together a huge and rapidly growing amount of material. The presentation is logically organized and covers the essentials of the topic at a level suitable for undergraduates.' Dr Gerry Shaw, McKnight Brain Institute, University of Florida
