Membrane ion transport in non-excitable tissues, by Keith Nehrke, has just been published in the Cell biology section. This chapter discusses calcium signaling during defecation, fertilization, locomotion, and wound closure, as well as the role of pH, proton signaling, and osmotic balance in C. elegans behavior and physiology.
