Advances in Pharmacology

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 therapyRegulation of calcium channels in epithelial cellsGene therapy and vascular diseasePotential therapeutic applications for HeparinCalcium channel blockersAntithrombotic agentsRegulation of potassium channels in epithelial cells
