Growth Factors and Their Receptors in Cell Differentiation, Cancer and Cancer Therapy
Autor G V Sherbeten Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iul 2011
This book reviews the latest developments providing insights into the signalling processes involved in morphogenesis and pathogenesis with emphasis on using the elements of the signalling cascades as targets for therapeutic deployment.
- Provides a fundamental understanding of the basic functions of growth factors and their receptors, describing how they are linked in biological processes
- Aids the development of therapeutic treatments for cancer
- Focuses on the interrelationships and convergence of growth factors and their receptors in development and pathogenesis and encourages greater cooperation and integration in the areas of developmental, cancer and cancer therapeutic research
