Description
Molecular and Cell Biology of Cancer: When Cells Break the Rules and Hijack Their Own Planet – eBook PDF
This textbook Molecular and Cell Biology of Cancer: When Cells Break the Rules and Hijack Their Own Planet (PDF) takes you on a journey to the basic concepts of cancer biology. It combines evolutionary, developmental, and cell biology perspectives, to then wrap-up with an integrated clinical approach. The ebook starts with an introductory chapter, looking at cancer in a nut shell. The subsequent chapters are detailed and the idea of cancer as a mass of somatic cells undergoing a micro-evolutionary Darwinian process is explored. Further, the main Hanahan and Weinberg “Hallmarks of Cancer” are revisited. In most chapters, the fundamental experiments that led to key concepts, connecting basic biology and biomedicine are highlighted. In the book’s closing section all of these concepts are integrated in clinical studies, where molecular diagnosis, as well as the various classical and modern therapeutic strategies, are addressed. The book is written in an easy-to-read language, like a one-on-one conversation between the writer and the reader, without compromising the scientific accuracy. Therefore, this book is suited not only for master and advanced undergraduate students but also for patients or curious laypeople looking for a further understanding of this shattering disease
