Landscape Of Signaling Pathway And Genetic Markers In Cardio-Brain Oncology: Volume 1

This book offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of biomarker discovery and electrochemical signaling pathways in brain and cardio-oncology. The integration of these two fields―focusing on organs where electrochemical signaling plays a crucial yet distinct role―sets this work apart from existing literature. The brain’s complex chemical signaling and the heart’s electrical communication pathways are examined side by side, providing readers with a unique perspective that may yield new insights into the general field of electrochemical biomarker discovery. Volume 1 of the book lays a solid foundation by thoroughly covering the fundamentals of oncology and biomarker science. Volume 2 builds on this by offering essential foundational information on biomarker discovery, particularly in oncology.
