Opis

Each volume of Advances in Pharmacology provides a rich collection of reviews on timely topics. Emphasis is placed on the molecular bases of drug action, both applied and experimental.

• This volume includes reviews on some of the hottest topics in pharmacology, including:
• Multidrug resistance and the MDR1 gene in gene therapy
• Regulation of calcium channels in epithelial cells
• Gene therapy and vascular disease
• Potential therapeutic applications for Heparin
• Calcium channel blockers
• Antithrombotic agents
• Regulation of potassium channels in epithelial cells

Recenzje

Praise for the Series "Recommended not only to pharmacologists but also to all those in related disciplines." --NATURE

"The works do represent an extensive compilation of data by outstanding researchers in this area. They are generally scientifically excellent, the bibliographies are good, and the individual reports are clear, concise, and extremely well illustrated." --H.E. Kaufmann in CHEMOTHERAPY

"Superb reading material." --JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES
