Each volume focuses on a single molecule or disease that is related to vitamins or hormones, with the topic broadly interpreted to include related substances, such as transmitters, cytokines, growth factors, and others thoroughly reviewed.
- Provides cutting-edge reviews concerning the molecular and cellular biology of vitamins and hormones
- Contains expertise from world-renowned contributors
- Includes coverage of a vast array of subjects
- Presents in-depth, current information from the molecular to clinical level
Researchers, faculty, and graduate students interested in cutting-edge reviews concerning the molecular and cellular biology of vitamins, hormones, and related factors and co-factors. Libraries and laboratories at institutes with strong programs in cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, gene regulation, hormone control, and signal transduction are likely to be interested
