Cell Receptors: Morphological Characterization and Pathological Aspects

by Gerhard Seifert, U. Beisiegel, F. Buck, G.V. Childs, I. Damjanov

Overview

An up-to-date review of the morphology and pathological aspects of cell receptors, important because new therapies for various pathological conditions (genetic diseases, endocrine disorders, cancer, etc.) could be based on receptor interference.
