Summary: “This textbook provides a comprehensive view of signal transduction, covering both the fun-
damental mechanisms involved and their roles in key biological processes. It first lays out the basic prin-
ciples of signal transduction, explaining how different receptors receive information and transmit it via
signaling proteins, ions, and second messengers. It then surveys the major signaling pathways that oper-
ate in cells, before examining in detail how these function in processes such as cell growth and division,
cell movement, metabolism, development, reproduction, the nervous system, and immune function”–
