Cell Physiology Sourcebook

Cell Physiology Source Book, Fifth Edition, covers a broad range of current topics in molecular and cellular physiology and biophysics. This thoroughly revised and updated sourcebook addresses fundamental research areas and has expanded its scope since the previous edition. It covers quantitatively oriented topics such as cell membrane diffusion and permeability, including unstirred layers, aquaporins, osmotic properties and water movement across cell membranes. It also explores the biophysics of extracellular and intracellular diffusion, molecular structure of biological membranes, gap and tight junctions, intracellular ion regulation, transepithelial transport mechanisms, voltage- and mechanosensitive channels, sensory receptors, bioluminescence, and various aspects of cell locomotion.
This multidisciplinary work will serve as a valuable resource for scientists, educators, researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students interested in exploring the fundamentals of cell physiology and biophysics.
