Foreword
Role and Importance of Cyclic Di-Nucleotide Second Messenger Signaling The discovery of nucleotide-based signaling molecules dates back to the work on the action of hormones carried out by Earl Sutherland in the 1950s of the last century. Sutherland had discovered that hormones like epinephrine, which act as global (first) messengers in the human body
