BetaSys Systems Biology of Regulated Exocytosis in Pancreatic ß-Cells /

The insulin secreting β-cell is one of the most specialized cell types with diverse and multi-functional components (genes, gene products, organelles and metabolites) and a multitude of regulatory strategies in response to internal and environmental signals. This book looks at the technological adva...
