Bücher der Reihe Methods in Signal Transduction Series

Providing detailed methods for the study of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and their role in a wide variety of cellular functions, this book includes expression and functional studies of TRP channels in heterologous systems as well as structural and functional studies of TRP channels. The author also explores various methods for detailed analysis of biophysical properties of TRP channels. In addition, the text covers high-throughput screening assays for TRP channels and offers novel and effective approaches to study endogenous TRP channel function in native systems.

This book focuses on neuron signaling in the regulation of metabolism and body weight and associated methods. The book will cover recent progress on neuron signaling for body weight and metabolic regulation and the state-of-the-art methods. Readers will be exposed to latest research frontiers on neuron regulation of metabolism.

Ion channels generate bioelectricity. This book reviews nonclassical ion channel research, ranging from the basic biology, structure, regulations to their functions not only in normal physiology but also neurological disorders, using a variety of cutting-edge techniques and novel animal models.
