Advances in Pharmacology [Hardcover]

Each volume of Advances in Pharmacology provides a rich collection of reviews on timely topics. Emphasis is placed on the molecular bases of drug action, both applied and experimental.

• This volume includes reviews on some of the hottest topics in pharmacology, including:
• Multidrug resistance and the MDR1 gene in gene therapy
• Regulation of calcium channels in epithelial cells
• Gene therapy and vascular disease
• Potential therapeutic applications for Heparin
• Calcium channel blockers
• Antithrombotic agents
• Regulation of potassium channels in epithelial cells
