Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology
Volume 90, Issues 1-3, Pages 1-468 (January-April 2006)
Edited by Peter Kohl and Sylvain Richard.

Provided here is the online content associated with the volume of Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology resulting from an integrative physiology workshop on the above topic, held in Montpellier from 3 to 5 September 2004. The meeting was timed to coincide with the retirement of Professor Denis Noble, CBE, FRS, FRCP (hon.) from his British Heart Foundation Chair at the University of Oxford, and it was both a celebration of Denis' scientific achievements (thus far) and of ongoing research in laboratories around the world that has been inspired (directly or indirectly) by him.
