Sensations of touch, hearing, sight, taste, smell or pain are essential to the survival of all living organisms. The importance of sensory input for the existence of life thus justifies the effort made to understand its molecular origins. Sensing with Ion Channels focuses on ion channels as key molecules enabling biological systems to sense and process the physical and chemical stimuli that act upon cells in their living environment. Its aim is to serve as a reference to ion channel specialists and as a source of new information to non specialists who want to learn about the structural and functional diversity of ion channels and their role in sensory physiology. 410 0$aSpringer series in biophysics ;$vv. 11. 606 $aIon channels 606 $aMechanoreceptors 615 0$aIon channels. 615 0$aMechanoreceptors. 676 $a571.64 701 $aMartinac$b Boris$01557416 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784731203321 996 $aSensing with ion channels$93820913 997 $aUNINA
