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:
PACAP: From Discovery to Function in Health and Disease serves as a comprehensive review covering all aspects of PACAP and its receptors, from expression to function in healthy tissues and disease models. The book introduces the biochemical, pharmacological and signaling properties of PACAP before exploring the biological actions of PACAP in normal health and pathological conditions. It considers PACAP in relation to various aspects, including pain, stress, brain injury, tumor cells and neurodegenerative disease. Effect on peripheral organs is also covered, from the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system to immune cells and bones, among others. Therapeutic potential is also explored. This is a volume in the Molecular Mediators in Health and Disease book series, and provides a complete analysis of PACAP and the latest research in the field. Thus it is an ideal guide for researchers interested in PACAP and its impact across health and disease.
