Recenzje

"Wide range of scientists exploring not only cancer biologic principles but as well those from immunology and inflammation fields may find this book a useful source of inspiring state-of-the-art molecular and cellular biological methodologies, useful techniques, research models, and even better - detailed protocols supported with pictures of critical steps in procedures, concrete scoring parameters used, along with tables summarizing important information, representative data, and calculations." (Andrea Babelova, Neoplasma, Vol. 65 (4), 2018)
