Biological homeostasis is maintained via intact function of an array of molecules detecting changes of microenvironments inside and outside of the biological system. These molecules, including cell membrane proteins and ion channels, are intimately involved in a variety of sensory pathways and respond to environmental stimuli, including altered temperature, pH, mechanical and osmotic stress, intra- and extracellular messengers, as well as changes in energy consumption. The book reveals the state-of-the-science of several newly discovered ion channel families and their role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. This work offers comprehensive and up-to-date information for a deeper understanding of the relationship between macro- and micro-environments, ion channels, and pathophysiological responses, and for developing novel therapies for treating devastating cardiovascular illnesses.

Review:

A critical addition to the literature yet easy to read

"All living organisms have the capacity to sense and respond to mechanical stimuli..". This is the opening sentence in a book that describes the molecular basis of cardiovascular function. Although I am in a tangential field, I bought this book to bring myself up to date with ion channels. I expected the book to be good and it was. What I didn't expect was how readable it was. Good balance of technical science and plain English.
