Riassunto:
Over the past few years, there have been major breakthroughs in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms which control cell division and apoptosis (programmed cell death). This book adopts a multi-disciplinary approach to explore how the deregulation of basic molecular controls can lead to malignancy in a variety of cell types. The authors are leading international experts whose chapters span the state of the art in cell and molecular biology, clinical treatment of cancer and new drug design.
