title: Molecular mechanisms of signal transduction in macrophages.
abstract: The mechanisms by which extracellular signals are received and transduced across the cell membrane are being illuminated by studies in macrophages. In this review Tom Hamilton and Dolph Adams discuss mechanisms of signal transduction which either initiate rapid execution of function in macrophages or alter the cells' potential for taking such action.
