Hardbound. Control and diseases of sodium dependent transport proteins and ion channels is believed to be one of the scientific research fields which holds great interest for biomedical investigators. The topics of gene expression, modulation and traffic of ion channels, transporters and receptors are progressing tremendously in cellular and molecular biology. The expression and regulation of these areas has profound implications for research in fields such as neuronal systems, intra- and intercellular signaling and close talking, cell prolification and differentiation, and ion mobilization. Evidence from this research has fundamental effect on drug design, dialysation and gene therapy as clinical tools. The contributions in this volume are grouped according to subject. Much focus is placed on molecular biology, regulatory mechanism, gene expression, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology and drug design related to Na/H exchanger, Na/Ca exchanger, Na c
