Description
A book intended for all levels graduate student and above. Of general interest to cell biologists and particular interest to developmental biologists, embryologists, physiologists, and biophysicists. Also some aspects of interest to molecular biologists. This volume summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the developmental biology of cell membrane transport systems and highlights areas where further research is needed. Topics discussed include the molecular biology of transport proteins and membrane protein sorting, fertilization and early embryonic development, the development of ion and solute transport, and ion channel development. The contributors to this volume include researchers from varied disciplines including membrane biphysics, cell and developmental biology, immunology, and molecular biology. No other volume gives such comprehensive treatment to this fundamental area of cell function.
