Edward A. Dennis is Distinguished Professor and former Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Professor in the Department of Pharmacology in the School of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Lipid Research. Ralph A. Bradshaw is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of California, Irvine. Prior to that he was on the faculty of the Department of Biological Chemistry, Washington University, and Professor and Chair of the Department of Biological Chemistry, University of California Irvine. He presently is Professor of Pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego. He served as president of FASEB, was the founding president of the Protein Society and was the treasurer of the ASBMB. He was the founding editor of Molecular and Cellular Proteomics. His research has focused on protein chemistry and proteomics, with emphasis on the structure and function of growth factors and their receptors, particularly nerve growth factor and fibroblast growth factor, and the involvement of receptor tyrosine kinases in cell signaling. He has also studied the role of proteolytic processing and N-terminal modification in protein stability and turnover.

"The Cell Signaling Collection consists of four independent volumes which reprint articles from the second edition of the carefully selected to alert medical and biological scientists to recent developments in the study of cellular signaling. This volume contains 57 articles exploring transduction mechanisms. After an overview of intracellular signaling, they cover phosporylation and dephosphorylation in kinases and phosphates, lipid signaling, cyclic nucleotides, and G proteins. The other volumes cover the functioning of transmembrane receptors, the regulation of organelle and cell compartment signaling, and intracellular signaling in development and disease."--Reference and Research Book News"For professionals, graduate researchers, and graduate students in biochemistry, biology, genetics, and biomedicine, Dennis (chemistry and biochemistry and pharmacology, U. of California, San Diego) and Bradshaw (chemistry and pharmaceutical chemistry, U. of California, San Francisco) bring together 52 articles from the authors' on cell-cell signaling, signaling development, and signaling in disease. A group of biologists, chemists, oncologists, surgeons, and other scientists from the US, Europe, Singapore, and Australia emphasize the role of cell-cell interaction and organ and tissue effects in signaling activities and their disease implications. They do not cover other aspects of cell signaling like transmembrane receptor structure, receptor organization and function, intracellular signaling mechanisms, and transcriptional activation and responses in other organelles."--Reference and Research Book News
