This fully updated edition provides the most recent advances in cancer cell signaling knowledge combined with some discussion of the current challenges and prospects in cancer therapy. Beginning with an important section on cancer resistance, the main obstacle to effective cancer therapy, the book continues with chapters exploring state-of-the-art methods in epigenetic control of cancer, metastasis promotion, as well as a variety of new technologies in the study of cancer. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and timely, Cancer Cell Signaling: Methods and Protocols, Third Edition serves as an ideal guide to researchers seeking to overcome the challenges in the vital field of cancer cell signaling.
