Cell Membrane Atlas

There are three main themes running through this completely updated edition of Cell Growth and Apoptosis. First, basic methods for measurement of cell proliferation are introduced and explained with reference to various systems, primarily in vitro, but with in vivo procedures also illustrated. The second theme is growth signalling, and is exemplified by methods for the analysis of transduction pathways for growth, beginning at the cell membrane and leading to the cell nucleus.

Application of strong electric field pulses to cells and tissue is known to cause some type of structural rearrangement of the cell membrane. Significant progress has been made by adopting the hypothesis that some of these rearrangements consist of temporary aqueous pathways (“pores”), with the electric field playing the dual role of causing pore formation and providing a local driving force for ionic and molecular transport through the pores. Introductron of DNA into cells in vitro is now the most common application. With imagination, however, many other uses seem likely.

Explore human physiology with a focus on homeostasis, cell transport, bioelectricity, and neuromuscular function.
