This book examines the latest developments in this field and discusses the most important molecules implicated in apoptosis, angiogenesis and signal transduction. A good understanding of these processes is needed to identify the best therapies.
- Facilitates the understanding of the processes involved and how they are translated into therapy
- Illustrations are used to explain the complex mechanisms involved
