About this book

Building from general principles, the authors clearly explain the fundamental role of epithelia in plasma electrolyte and water balance. Emphasis is placed on experimental approaches and methodology. A comprehensive glossary of terms is included.

Reviews

...it will certainly attract not only the undergraduate and graduate students, but also post-doctoral fellows and established investigators. We think it will be particularly useful for clinicians and dermatologists... - Cellular and Molecular Biology
