About this book
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 rhinovirusāreceptor 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.
