Foreword
Urea Transporters edited by B. Yang and J.M. Sands is a compendium of chapters about urea transport across membranes and the transporters/channels that mediate it. This is the first book on urea transport since a classic book Urea and the Kidney edited by Bodil-Schmidt Nielsen in 1970. The editors have recruited the top workers in the field worldwide to provide us with a far-reaching accounting of the world’s knowledge about urea transport. The book deal
