Apoptosis, Sensescence, And Cancer

Apoptosis, Senescence and Cancer provides insight into established practices and research into apoptosis and senescence. The volume thoroughly examines novel and emerging techniques and research in the fields of cell death pathways, senescence growth arrest, drugs and resistance, DNA damage response, and other topics that still hold mysteries for researchers. The volume is divided into six easy to follow sections. The first is Apoptosis and Alternative Modes of Cell Death. The second is Telomeres and Telomerase, Senescence, Genomic Instability and Tumorigenesis. The third is DNA Damage Response, Signaling Pathways and Tumorigenesis, while the fourth is Resistance and Sensitization. The fifth covers Established Cancer Therapies, and the final section looks toward the future with Recent and Developing Cancer Therapies. In total, this volume provides basic scientists and clinicians with a deeper and more complete understanding of the cellular responses of malignancies which may determine the effectiveness of treatment, both in the initial stages of the disease as well as in disease recurrence.
