Description

Programmed cell death mechanisms, such as apoptosis, play a critical role in development, normal physiology and many diseases, including cancer. This book describes our detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in apoptosis and other cell death mechanisms, covering signal transducers, caspases, Bcl2-family proteins, mitochondrial molecules and IAPs. The new edition contains critical new information on recent exciting advances in the field, such as new forms for cell death and important insights into the mechanisms and control of apoptosis.
