Elucidation of the function of oncogenes in tumor suppressor genes revealed that malignant growth can be understood as a malfunction of information transfer systems employed for transmission of stimulatory or inhibitory signals for growth control. This book presents a comprehensive view reflecting our present knowledge of the whole area of molecular biology and biochemistry of positive and negative growth control and the implication of proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in...
More DescriptionElucidation of the function of oncogenes in tumor suppressor genes revealed that malignant growth can be understood as a malfunction of information transfer systems employed for transmission of stimulatory or inhibitory signals for growth control. This book presents a comprehensive view reflecting our present knowledge of the whole area of molecular biology and biochemistry of positive and negative growth control and the implication of proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in these mechanisms. On the basis of this information, new strategies for the development of anti-tumor agents are also discussed.
