Features: Cell signaling transduction is a cutting-edge field that investigates the processes and mechanisms of cellular information transmission by studying the interactions between biomolecules. Its main content nearly encompasses all disciplines of biomedical science. The study of cell signaling transduction processes and their regulatory mechanisms is not only beneficial for understanding normal physiological processes but also holds significant importance for revealing the molecular mechanisms of major human diseases and developing drugs related to cell signaling transduction. This book focuses on introducing the fundamental theories of cell signaling transduction as well as some of the important research advancements achieved in recent years, including cell junctions and extracellular matrix, intercellular signaling, receptors and intercellular signaling transduction, G proteins and signal transduction, protein kinases, protein phosphatases, and signal transduction, cAMP and cGMP signaling pathways, IP3 and DAG in signal transduction, calcium ions and signal transduction, MAPK signaling pathways, Wnt and Notch signaling transduction, interactions between cell signaling pathways, neuronal signaling transduction, cell cycle regulation, tumors and signal transduction, cell signaling transduction and diseases, and cell recognition and recognition diseases, totaling sixteen chapters. These contents are as comprehensively integrated as possible with recent research progress, reflecting the latest achievements in this field. This book holds significant reference value for researchers, graduate students, and technical personnel in higher education institutions, research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies in the fields of biology, medicine, and agriculture, who are engaged in studying the mechanisms of biomolecular interactions, to understand the current status and development trends of cell signaling mechanisms, as well as to conduct scientific topic selection for cell signaling transduction research.
