Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

From the perspective of several biological and medical specialties, scientists from around the world set out basic information about programmed cell death that would be useful for researchers investigating the phenomenon for the first time. They focus on the concepts, the basic molecular architecture, and the pathophysiological significance. The first edition was published in 2003, and this second has been expanded to nearly twice the size to accommodate the growth in information since then. Among the topics are the structural biology of programmed cell death, reactive oxygen species in cell fate decisions, plants, looking for the roots of death in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, matters of life and death in the immune system, cell death in acute neuronal injury, cancer biology and therapeutics, caspase-independent mitotic death, and basic principles and protocols of analyzing apoptosis.

Synopsis:

This is the second edition of the comprehensive, concise summary of apoptosis research. It covers the major concepts, molecular architecture, the biochemical pathways, and pathophysiological significance of apoptosis. This book provides a guideline of standard biochemical and cell biologic approaches to apoptosis bench work with an emphasis on translational clinical applications for immune disorders, cancer research, ischemia, and neuronal degeneration. Since the original publication in 2003, the apoptosis field has expanded rapidly a " chapters not only need to be revised and expanded, but there is a need for all new chapters covering exciting advances in bioinformatics, systems biology, oxidative stress, etc.
