This is the second edition of the comprehensive, concise summary of apoptosisresearch. It covers the major concepts, molecular architecture, the biochemical pathways, and pathophysioloical 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 – 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. Systemic coverage of major aspects of apoptosis and other types of cell death in a broad range of biological systems Most updated and advanced knowledge in the field of cell death and survival provided by the leading experts in the fields Comprehensive discussion of cell death in pathogenesis of human diseases in all major organ systems Experimental techniques for both basic science and clinical researchers Suitable for both novices entering the field and seasoned researchers seeking novel ideas INDICE: From the contents Part I. Molecules and Pathways of Apoptosis. Part II: Apoptosis in Model Organisms. Part III. Apoptosis in Mammalian Physiology and Pathogenesis. Part IV. Alternative cell death mechanisms and pathways. Part V. Approaches to the study of apoptosis. Index.
