Airways Smooth Muscle: Development, and Regulation of Contractility: Development and Regulation of Contractility
ISBN: 9783034874106 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Most studies on autonomic innervation of smooth muscle have focused on the short-term mechanisms involved in neurotransmission in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. However recent obser- vations of the long-term plasticity of this system, i. e. its capacity for regeneration and for compensatory change in pattern of innervation and expression of cotransmitters and receptors in ageing, following surgery, trauma or in disease, have indicated that an understanding of the mechanisms involved could influence the design of therapeutic regimes. There is increasing evidence for long-term...

A...
