Signaling by the hematopoietic cytokine receptors

This text is concerned with cytokines, their receptors and the mechanisms cytokine receptors employ to transduce their crucial biological activities. A central feature for these receptors is the lack of tyrosine kinase domains in their cytoplasmic domain. Discoveries on cytokine receptor signalling mechanisms explain this paradigm and are discussed at length in the text.
