Review
“This book offers a very nice general overview of the current knowledge of signal transduction and regulation. The author has done an excellent job of assimilating an inherently complicated subject into clear, simple, and logical descriptions.” (
The Quarterly Review of Biology, June 2009)
"Krauss has set out to update a general resource for those with interest in signal transduction. The addition of an introductory chapter (Ch.1) makes this edition well pitched to undergraduate with some knowledge of cell biology and biochemistry and would serve as a suitable textbook for an upper-level undergraduate course in this area. the text would also be a useful reference to beginning graduate students in signal transaction and a ready compliment to course that rely on primary literature for course discussions. For instructors, this book would make an excellent companion for teaching signal transduction, as the figures are well laid out and illustrate clearly many points."

From the Back Cover
This all-new edition of a classic text has been thoroughly revised to keep pace with the rapid progress in signal transduction research. With didactic skill and clarity the author relates the observed biological phenomena to the underlying biochemical processes.
Directed to advanced students, teachers, and researchers in biochemistry and molecular biology, this book describes the molecular basis of signal transduction, regulated gene expression, the cell cycle, tumorigenesis and apoptosis.
"Provides a comprehensive account of cell signaling and signal transduction and, where possible, explains these processes at the molecular level"
—Angewandte Chemie
"The clear and didactic presentation makes it a textbook very useful for students and researchers not familiar with all aspects of cell regulation."
—Biochemistry
"This book is actually two books: Regulation and Signal Transduction."
—Drug Research
