Reviews

`The editors have succeeded in producing a volume of work which provides many answers to questions, asked and unasked, about a critically important field of biologic research. It should be in the library of any scientist with an interest in human physiology; it would be useful to many other researchers as well.'
Chemtracts - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 12:10 (1999)
