The processes of tumor metastasis, apoptosis and anti-tumor immune response are among the most complex yet rapidly advancing fields in the area of cancer research. This monogaph presents a comprehensive coverage of the recent advances in the various key concepts in these fundamental aspects of human cancer. It would be of particular interest to members of the cancer research community, especially those who are actively involved in the study of basic and translational aspects of human cancer. Specifically, this volume includes authentic subject reviews by leading experts on the following aspects:

Control of tumor cell motility

Role of tumor-cell adhesion and migration in organ-selective metastasis-formation

Tumor heterogeneity in relation to invasion and metastasis and its clinical implications

Tumor angiogenesis, angioprevention, anti-angiogenic therapies and response

Role of apoptosis in the development, progression and therapy of cancer

Role of macrophages in tumor development and metastasis

Pathways of macrophage-mediated tumor progression

Abnormal variation of immune response against cancer

Immunological aspects of Marek s disease virus (MDV)-induced lymphoma progression

A biodynamical model of human T-cell proliferative disorders

Current methodologies for characterization of tumor directed immune response

Apoptosis: Involvement of Oxidative Stress and Intracellular Ca2+ Homeostasis

publisher: Springer, published: 2010-12-14
ASIN: 9048182158
EAN: 9789048182152

Apoptosis: Involvement of Oxidative Stress and Intracellular Ca²⁺ Homeostasis, presents a concise synthesis of the current knowledge and recent advances in the mechanisms of apoptosis in different cells and the role of oxidative stress and Ca²⁺ signalling. Particular attention is given to the different features of apoptosis in distinct cell types, ranging from hepatocytes to cardiovascular and blood cells, nervous cells or spermatozoa.

Cutting-edge and user-friendly, this volume serves as a comprehensive resource for those interested in the fascinating biological processes associated to programmed cell death or apoptosis. The book is divided in two major chapter sections: general mechanisms of the apoptotic pathways and the role of oxidative stress and intracellular Ca²⁺ homeostasis and a more specific section dedicated to the specificities of apoptosis in a number of excitable and non-excitable cells.

All of the contributions are from specialists in the field and the reviews presented, systemically examine the most exciting and innovative aspects of the apoptotic pathways in their particular areas of expertise.

Genetics of Apoptosis

by: S. Grimm
publisher: Garland Science, published: 2003-01-15
ASIN: 1859960642
EAN: 9781859960646
sales rank: 8339362
Apoptosis is an essential process in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, particularly in the prevention of disease. Written from a genetic viewpoint, Genetics of Apoptosis first describes the molecular and cell biology of apoptosis, then examines the process in more detail in several model systems. This volume brings together contributions from internationally renowned authors, and will be a valuable reference to all researchers studying apoptosis.

Apoptosis in Neurobiology (Frontiers in Neuroscience)

publisher: CRC Press, published: 1998-12-24
ASIN: 0849333520
EAN: 9780849333521
sales rank: 3829767
The rapid growth of the study of apoptosis-mechanism-driven, regulated cell death-has created an urgent need for reliable documentation of the different approaches to and methods of studying the various aspects of the field. Apoptosis in Neurobiology is an important resource for researchers in this emerging frontier of biomedical study. This volume allows the uninitiated neuroscientist intellectual and practical access to the study of apoptosis, with special consideration to the nervous system. The first section concentrates on conceptual approaches to the study of apoptosis in neurobiology and its significance to the nervous system. The second section provides a user-friendly approach to methods and techniques in the study of apoptosis as applied to neurobiology.

Phospholipid Metabolism in Apoptosis (Subcellular Biochemistry, Volume 36)

publisher: Springer, published: 2002-05-31
ASIN: 0306467828
EAN: 9780306467820
sales rank: 8370710
The last few years have witnessed an explosion of both interest and knowledge about apoptosis, the process by which a cell actively commits suicide. It is now well recognised that apoptosis is essential in many aspects of normal development and is required for maintaining tissue homeostasis. The molecular mechanisms of apoptosis are presently unknown and the subject of focused research effort. It is clear that cell membrane structure and properties play an early part in the induction process. There is increasing evidence that the arrangement of polar lipids in the membrane lipid matrix is an important factor coupled with the homeostatic mechanisms responsible for preserving membrane lipid composition and asymmetry. Changes in membrane permeability are also likely to be involved, possibly as a direct consequence of disturbances in the lipid bilayer matrix.
The purpose of this volume is to examine the involvement of membrane lipids in early events of apoptosis. In particular, the role of phospholipids in mitochondrial permeability, membrane lipid asymmetry, and sphingolipid and phospholipid signalling processes in early apoptotic events are reviewed by current researchers in these fields.
