Nitric Oxide, Cell Signaling and Gene Expression is the first comprehensive work to showcase the highly useful diversity of cellular effects elicited by nitric oxide.

Features:

• Presents the latest advances in nitric oxide biology with implications for health and disease states
• Features contributions from top experts across the globe
• Contains cutting-edge information on the biological basis of modulation of cell signal transduction pathways and gene expression by nitric oxide
• Explores the diversity of cellular effects elicited by nitric oxide, including its dichotomous activities, in terms of cell survival and apoptosis
• Looks at how nitric oxide's interactions with a number of signaling cascades results in gene expression modulation
