Ions, channels, and receptors.
In this section eight presenters focus on three distinct aspects of chromaffin cell biology: first, the properties of neuronal nicotinic receptors; second, the shaping of the Ca(2+) signals that underlie chromaffin cell function; and third, the properties and expression of cell surface transporter proteins. Together these studies provide considerable new insight into the complexity of the signaling mechanisms that regulate the functional activity of the cell.
