Opis

Originating from a renowned course on receptor pharmacology, this text presents in-depth coverage of this rapidly expanding research area. The book combines current understanding of classical quantitative pharmacology and drug-receptor interactions with the basics of receptor structure and signal transduction mechanisms. It focuses on molecular

Recenzje

" … very well written and informative. This edition updates and refines earlier versions of what is an excellent, interesting, and very informative text on receptor pharmacology, but what else would one expect with contributions from such giants in the discipline? This book is ideal for budding pharmacologists and cell physiologists, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate level, who have an interest in receptor structure and function … would also be of value to students and academics of pharmacy, physiology, medicinal chemistry, and related disciplines."

John C. Foreman, Ph.D., D.Sc., M.B., B.S., F.R.C.P., is emeritus professor of pharmacology at University College London. His research interests have included the role of bradykinin receptors in the human nasal airway, the control of microvascular circulation in human skin, and the mechanism of activation of dendritic cells. He has published reviews, contributions to books, and 170 research papers.

Torben Johansen, M.D., Dr. Med. Sci. is a docent of pharmacology at the University of Southern Denmark. He has published 70 research papers in refereed journals. His current major research interests are N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the stubstantia nigra in relation to cell death in Parkinson’s disease and also ion transport and signaling in mast cells in relation to intracellular pH and volume regulation.

Alasdair Gibb, B.Sc., Ph.D., is reader in pharmacology at University College London. He currently leads the General and Advanced Receptor Theory Workshop of the British Pharmacological Society Diploma in Pharmacology and is a course leader on the British Pharmacological Society short course on Translational Pharmacology.
