* An important new forum to promote cross-disciplinary discussion on transport and signaling aspects in membrane biology for researchers in science and medicine
* An authoritative, encyclopedic resource addressing key topics from perspectives of biophysics, cell biology, neuroscience, physiology and medicine
* Content is fully citable, qualifying for abstracting, indexing, and ISI ranking
Every cell is surrounded by a membrane which is impermeable to hydrophilic molecules including most of the extracellular signals. Regulated transport of these molecules by channels and transporters, and the appropriate transmission of extracellular signals by cellular receptors are essential for cell survival and cell-cell communication of all organisms. Signalling and transport processes at the membrane are studied from very different angle by cell biologists, biophysicists, biochemists, neuroscientists, physiologists and researchers in medicine who will highly welcome this new reference source as dynamic discussion platform for a constantly growing field.
