Thermal Sensors

Current Topics in Membranes is targeted toward scientists and researchers in biochemistry and molecular and cellular biology, providing the necessary membrane research to assist them in discovering the current state of a particular field and in learning where that field is heading.

This volume presents an up to date presentation of current knowledge and problems in the field of thermal receptors. This is a rapidly evolving research area and the book contains important contributions from some of the leaders in the field.

Written by leading expertsContains original material, both textual and illustrative, that should become a very relevant reference materialThe material is presented in a very comprehensive mannerBoth researchers in the field and general readers should find relevant and up-to-date information
