{"product_id":"intercellular-communication-in-the-nervous-robert-malenka-9780123750723","title":"Intercellular Communication in the Nervous System","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntercellular communication is part of a complex system of communication that governs basic cellular activities and coordinates cell actions. The ability of cells to perceive and correctly respond to their environment is the basis of growth and development, tissue repair, and immunity as well as normal tissue homeostasis. Errors in cellular information processing are responsible for diseases such as cancer, autoimmunity, diabetes, and neurological and psychiatric disorders. There is substantial drug development concentrating on this and intercellular communication is the basis of much of neuropharmacology. By understanding cell signaling, diseases may be treated effectively and, theoretically, artificial tissues may be yielded. Neurotransmitters\/receptors, synaptic structure and organization, gap junctions, neurotrophic factors and neuropeptides are all explored in this volume, as are the ways in which signaling controls neuroendocrinology, neuroimmunology and neuropharmacology. \u003ci\u003eIntercellular Communication in the Nervous System \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a valuable desk reference for all scientists who consider signaling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Malenka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0123750725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780123750723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.40w x 1.60d","brand":"Robert Malenka","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47135222726911,"sku":"9780123750723","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9518b186-bb7a-467c-b4f8-6735210efcda.jpg?v=1755009498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intercellular-communication-in-the-nervous-robert-malenka-9780123750723","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
