Dynamic Cells: Cell Biology of the 21st Century : Proceedings of the 1st Hirosaki International Forum of Medical Science, Hirosaki, Japan, 30 October 1997 (International Congress Series)

This collection of 15 contributions from the October 1997 forum is intended to be a source of modern knowledge of cell biology for the medical world. Topics include the mechanism of cell movement and intracellular transport of materials, secretion, synthesis of proteins, and the reactions to the stimuli in the cell. Also discussed are targets of new discoveries in modern cell science such as nerve tissues, endocrine cells, intestinal secretory cells, photoreceptors, perception of hearing, bone cells, and pancreatic islets.
