Description
Summary:The role of programmed cell death is recognised as being important in a number of key biological processes, particularly development and maintenance of a healthy organism. This volume, which arises from a Royal Society discussion meeting, provides an up-to-date overview of current research into programmed cell death from top international scientists. Key topics discussed include genetic control of programmed cell death in development, regulation of cell death in cancer cells, influence of signals, modulators and effectors on cell death and clinical applications. Each chapter provides good access to other relevant literature for those not familiar with the area.
