Description
Springer CalciumSensing Receptor 1st Editon 2012 Softbound by Naibedya Chattopadhyay, Edward M. Brown
Calcium-Sensing Receptor provides an overview of various aspects of the calcium receptor's biochemistry, physiology and pathophysiology that is suitable both for those who have been working in the field of Ca2+0-sensing as well as those who are new to this discipline. Calcium-Sensing Receptor is the nineteenth volume published in the Endocrine Updates book series under the Series Editorship of Shlomo Melmed, MD. Contributors. Preface; N. Chattopadhyay, E.M.
