Produktbeschreibung

Substance P: From Pain to Cancer, a volume in the Molecular Mediators in Health and Disease: How Cells Communicate series, provides a complete discussion of substance P biology, its role in normal physiology and a variety of diseases. The volume provides an introduction to substance P and its pharmacology, followed by exploring its role across the human body including cardiovascular function, micturition, learning and memory, emesis, respiration and sleep. It then discusses the critical role of substance P in several disease states including acute brain injury, neurodegeneration, seizures, depression and anxiety, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, and viral infection, including COVID-19. The book closes with a look towards future perspectives for substance P. Substance P: From Pain to Cancer is an ideal reference for researchers across the life sciences interested in understanding the role of this multi-functioning mediator and its biological significance.
