Features: This book introduces the basic concepts, composition, and fundamental theories of cellular communication, emphasizing the pathological and physiological significance of existing research findings and their relationship with diseases, as well as their application prospects—combining basic and clinical aspects. The book focuses on explaining cytokines and ion channels that are widely used in clinical practice, providing a comprehensive discussion of extracellular communication and briefly introducing intracellular communication (post-receptor signal transduction). This book is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students in life science-related fields at comprehensive universities and medical schools, as well as for clinical medical workers and basic medical researchers. Non-life science researchers and educators interested in cellular communication can also find interdisciplinary collaboration points in relevant chapters.
