Leading scientists summarize the latest findings on signal transduction
and cell cycle regulation and describe the effort to design and
synthesize inhibiting molecules, as well as to evaluate their
biochemical and biological activities. They review the relevant cell
surface receptors, their ligands, and their downstream pathways. Also
examined are the latest findings on the components of novel signaling
networks controlling the activity of nuclear transcription factors and
cell cycle regulatory molecules. Cutting-edge and highly suggestive,
Signaling Networks and Cell Cycle Control: The Molecular Basis of Cancer
and Other Diseases presents a wealth of information on the emerging
principles of the field, as well as an invaluable guide for all
experimental and clinical investigators of cell regulation and its
rapidly emerging pharmacological opportunities today.
