Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Nerve growth factor: From Neuron Development to Neurology, the latest release in the Molecular Mediators in Health and Disease series, offers a complete guide to nerve growth factor (NGF) across health and disease. Sections cover key properties, the latest advances, and biomedical applications of this neuropeptide. The book begins with an introduction and historical overview of the discovery of NGF before exploring its molecular characteristics. It then covers NGF in organ function, with chapters discussing the brain, immune system, blood vessels, heart, reproductive organs, teeth, and lungs. NGF pharmacology is then considered, with a focus on NGF as a therapeutic agent.
The final section of the book covers NGF across diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, diseases of the eye, chronic pain, and visceral disfunctions. Throughout the book, NGF is considered in the context of both mammalian and non-mammalian biology, making it an ideal reference for researchers working across the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, and other biomedical areas.
