Summary Biased Signaling in Physiology, Pharmacology and Therapeutics is a unique and essential reference for the scientific community concerning how conformational-dependent activation is a common phenomenon across many classes of receptors or signaling molecules. Written for both new and established scientists in pharmacology, cell biology, biochemistry, and signal transduction, as well as physicians, this book clearly explains biased signaling as an evolved mechanism for physiological systems to decipher complex signals from a limited number of signaling mechanisms. Each chapter is dedicated to a different class of receptor and discusses the scientific basis for biased signaling in the context of how this data affects pharmacology and can be used to develop drugs and treat disease.
