Molecular Pathomechanisms and New Trends in Drug Research

Functional gene analysis (genomics), protein analysis (proteomics), and other molecular biological techniques have made it possible to understand the basic mechanisms of human disease, opening up exciting opportunities for novel therapeutic possibilities. Molecular Pathomechanisms and New Trends in Drug Research presents an in-depth review of the molecular mechanisms involved in a number of common diseases including cancer, AIDS, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. This book is a useful reference text for students and researchers in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, and the pharmaceutical sciences.
