Opis

The normally functioning cell has controls which prevent it proliferating and invading regions of the body from which it is normally excluded. Under certain conditions, the normal rules breakdown and cell proliferation and migration, or metastasis, leads to the formation of tumours. The metastatic behaviour of malignant tumour cells is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths. This book deals with the behaviour and biochemistry of errant cells, a subject that is at the forefront of current reserch in cellular and molecular biology, providing general and specialized information on cell adhesion and mobility in the metastatic process, the behaviour of the cells involved and how they differ from normal cells.

Recenzje

Graduate students who acquire it as a supplemental text will find much to enjoy, ponder and use. - Bioscience; Better view of the current science - Cancer Cells; Clive Evans has succeeded in bringing together in an eminently readable manner the threads of a complex, difficult and rapidly expanding field. ...The clarity of style and wit of the author...immediately captures the attention of the prospective reader. ... This book will fulfill the need of an enormous number of people working in the area of tumour biology for it brings together a thorough synthesis of the recent literature in the field.
