Editorial Reviews

From an August 1992 workshop on the Greek island of Spetsai, 28 papers focus on the regulation of intracellular calcium levels, the second messengers derived from inositol lipids, and the specific phospholipase C isozymes involved in those processes. The sections cover the components of signal transduction; receptor function and regulation; transcription factors and regulation; the biosynthesis, insertion, and function of membrane components; and membrane peroxidation and protection.
