Advances in Biosignal Transduction

A biosignal is any signal in living beings that can be continually measured and monitored. The term biosignal is often used to refer to bioelectrical signals, but it may refer to both electrical and non-electrical signals. The usual understanding is to refer only to time-varying signals, although spatial parameter variations (e.g. the nucleotide sequence determining the genetic code) are sometimes subsumed as well. Signal transduction is the process by which a chemical or physical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events, most commonly protein phosphorylation catalysed by protein kinases, which ultimately results in a cellular response.


In the present book, ten typical literatures about Biosignal Transduction published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on neurology, genetics, oncology, ect. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in Biosignal Transduction as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
