Apple Academic Press Inc. Cancer Cell Signaling Targeting Signaling Pathways Toward Therapeutic Approaches to Cancer 2014 Edition by Kasirajan Ayyanathan
This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.Cell signaling is a field that studies how cells communicate to control basic activities and respond to their environment. When looking specifically at cancer cells, researchers can gain a better understanding of cancer on a cellular level, an understanding that may have implications for developing new treatments. The current volume provides an overview of the field and how various cell biology techniques are used to better understand cancer on a cellular level.Edited by a researcher from Florida Atlantic University, this easily accessible reference volume offers a comprehensive look at the field of cancer cell signaling.
