Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"This second volume is Springer's Systems Biology series focuses on the organisation of pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells, with a particular focus on the technological approaches deemed necessary to further our understanding of beta cell physiology and the pathogenesis of diabetes. ... I warmly recommend should be on the shelves of all research laboratories involved in modern beta cell research." (P. Meda, Diabetologia, Vol. 54, 2011)
