Mechanically Gated Channels and their Regulation

Mechanically Gated Channels and their Regulation edited by Andre Kamkin, Ilya Lozinsky.

The volume dwells on the major issues of mechanical stress influencing the ion channels and intracellular signaling pathways. This book is a unique collection of reviews outlining current knowledge and future developments in this rapidly growing field. In our opinion the book presents not only the l...
