Description : This book provides a comprehensive understanding of cell signaling, molecular interactions, and their implications for human health and diseases. It introduces fundamental principles underlying cell communication through signaling molecules and their diverse transmission and reception mechanisms, highlighting their role in intercellular communication through voltage- and ion-gated channels, immunological and neuron synapses, and rhinovirus–receptor interaction involved in pathogenesis and disease development. Toward the end, the book highlights the profound implications of altered cell signaling pathways in the inflammation and immune response followed by the progression of various disorders, including cancer, endocrine disorders, and neurological illnesses. It explores the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of cell signaling in targeted therapies, highlighting advanced techniques for detecting signaling molecules and innovative therapeutic approaches to inspire new developments in precision medicine. It serves as an important resource for academics, students, and professionals in the fields of cell biology and biomedical sciences._x000D_ Key Features:_x000D_ Provides in-depth understanding of cell signaling, exploring its complexities and impact on human health and disease_x000D_ Introduces fundamental principles of cell communication, emphasizing the different signaling molecules and their various transmission pathways_x000D_ Focuses on complex structures and functions of receptors, highlighting their essential role in intercellular communication and regulating cellular behavior_x000D_ Examines the molecular aspects of cell surface adhesion receptors, elucidating protein–protein interactions, signaling cascades, and enzyme–substrate interactions_x000D_ Discusses the impact of cell signaling on inflammation, cancer, and endocrine and neurological disorders
