Multidisciplinary in scope, the book bridges the gap between fundamental and translational research, with applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry, making it a thought-provoking read for basic and applied scientists engaged in biomedical research.
- Gives insight into the spectrum of proteases, protease inhibitors, and protease interactors involved at the cellular and molecular level in cancer development
- Gives a comprehensive overview of the role of proteases in modulating cellular metabolism and chemoresistance to better understand how proteases play in early to the end point in cancer development and metastasis
- Provides a multidisciplinary approach demonstrating the biochemical and signal transduction mechanisms associated with dysregulation of proteases, leading to the manifestation of various diseases
- Highlights the roles and regulation of different types of proteases, as well as their synthetic and endogenous inhibitors
- Bridges the gap between fundamental and translational research, with applications in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry
