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.
