Reviews of previous edition:
“…a core textbook in cell physiology…The need for such a book is well justified and it fulfills its objectives admirably. It is especially strong on the subjects of signal transduction, membrane biology, ion channels, and neuronal and muscle cell physiology… It is a solid textbook in its field…” –DOODY’S PUBLISHING REVIEWS
“Cell Physiology Source Book 2e will be useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying cell physiology, cell biophysics, electrophysiology, and biological scientists in many fields. The book is particularly suitable for introducing cell physiology to students with training in the physical sciences and for introducing cell biophysics to students with backgrounds in biology.” –BIOPHYSICAL JOURNAL
From the Back Cover
This completely revised and updated source book provides comprehensive and authoritative coverage of cell physiology and membrane biophysics. Intended primarily as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and as a reference for researchers, this multidisciplinary book includes several new chapters and is an invaluable aid to scientists interested in cell physiology, biophysics, cell biology, electrophysiology, and cell signaling.
KEY FEATURES
* Completely revised and updated–includes 8 new chapters on such topics as membrane structure, intracellular chloride regulation, transport, sensory receptors, pressure effects, and infrared detectors
* Includes broad coverage of both animal and plant cells
* Appendixes review basics of the propagation of action potentials, electricity, and cable properties
* Authored by leading experts in the field
* Clear, concise, comprehensive coverage of all aspects of cellular physiology from fundamental concepts to more advanced topics
