Molecular and Cellular Changes in the Cancer Cell [Hardcover]

Molecular and Cellular Changes in the Cancer Cell,the latest volume in the Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science series, includes a comprehensive summary of the evidence accumulated thus far on the molecular and cellular regulation of the various adaptations taking place in response to exercise.

This volume examines some of the latest advances, highlighting some of the most important molecular and cellular alterations and environmental influences that collectively cause a normal cell to become cancerous. Special emphasis is given to changes that take place at the molecular and cellular level.

• Comprehensive and up-to-date survey of current knowledge on the cancer cell
• Includes the latest advances and the most important molecular and cellular alterations and environmental influences collectively causing cells to become cancerous
• Written by leading experts in the field
