Opis

Apoptosis: Modern Insights into Disease from Molecules to Man covers Apoptosis from A to Z, unlike other books that fail to target the key active elements. It explores a wide range of topics -- from various cancers, asthma, and multiple sclerosis, to alcohol liver disease, chronic back pain, and cardiovascular health. With 40 chapters written by reputable authorities, the book answers the field's long-standing need for a one-stop comprehensive volume.

Recenzje

The strengths of this book lie in its encyclopedic coverage of the topic material, as well as in its currency: the considerable majority of references cited are from the past ten years. The rapid evolution of this field is invariably a downside to a static compendium of knowledge such as Apoptosis, but at the moment, it will serve as an excellent resource for anyone who requires a thorough grounding in the biology and physiology of apoptosis.
—Robert Korneluk, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 87, 2012
