This new book (from the EIBC Book Series) covers recent advancesmade by top researchers in the field of metals in cells [the"metallome"] and include: regulated metal ionuptake and trafficking, sensing of metals within cells and acrosstissues, and identification of the vast cellular factors designedto orchestrate assembly of metal cofactor sites while minimizingtoxic side reactions of metals. In addition, it featuresaspects of metals in disease, including the role of metals inneuro-degeneration, liver disease, and inflammation, as a way tohighlight the detrimental effects of mishandling of metaltrafficking and response to "foreign" metals. With the breadth ofour recently acquired understanding of metals in cells, a book thatfeatures key aspects of cellular handling of inorganic elements isboth timely and important. At this point in our understanding, itis worthwhile to step back and take an expansive view of how farour understanding has come, while also highlighting how much westill do not know.
The content from this book will publish online, as part ofEIBC in December 2013, find out more about theEncyclopedia of Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry, theessential online resource for researchers and students working inall areas of inorganicand bioinorganic chemistry.
