Description
Springer Intracellular Mechanisms For Neuritogenesis by Ivan Curtis
This book present in novel, distinct, but highly related aspects of the intracellular mechanisms required for the formation of a functional neurite, which include cytoskeletal organization, membrane traffic, and signal transduction. Its aim is to present this topic to the general readership of neurobiologists and molecular and cellular biologists to further stimulate the interest into this exciting section of neurobiology._x000D_ _x000D_
