Control of Animal Cell Proliferation Volume II

Control of Animal Cell Proliferation, Volume II discusses how animal cells become proliferatively autonomous, which results in malignant behavior. This book begins with trends and issues on membrane structure and teratocarcinoma research. The structure and function of several growth factors and their receptors such as thrombin, transferrin, glucocorticoid, and B and T cell factors are also discussed. This text likewise covers the mechanism of information transduction that includes intracellular pH and calcium. The aspects of genome organization and gene transcription are deliberated in the last chapters. This publication provides biologists and students with a coherent picture of cell proliferation.
