The Oncogene Handbook - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The field of Molecular Oncology has emerged in the last decade as an amalgamation of four of the foremost disciplines in cancer research: retrovirology, chemical carcinogenesis, cytogenetics, and cell growth regulation. The subject matter for this book forms the unifying factor for these four areas. Although the field of Molecular Oncology is still comparatively young, the technical vocabulary can be bewildering to the uninitiated. This book is clear in its divisions, grouping oncogenes by biochemical activity or cellular localization; the large group of tyrosine kinases are compared by relevant features. The Oncogene Handbook allows ready access and supplies excellent cross-referencing. An outstanding reference work, giving basic information on each oncogene in a concise and uniform format. The fundamental importance of the subject area and its medical implications, both reflected in The Oncogene Handbook , provide students, scientists in other fields, and clinicians with a very useful manual.
