Tutorials in mathematical biosciences. II, Mathematical modeling of calcium dynamics and signal transduction / James Sneyd (ed.) ; with contributions by R. Bertram [and others]

This book presents a series of models in the general area of cell physiology and signal transduction, with particular attention being paid to intracellular calcium dynamics, and the role played by calcium in a variety of cell types. Calcium plays a crucial role in cell physiology, and the study of i...
