Signaling Networks and Cell Cycle Control The Molecular Basis of Cancer and Other Diseases

The recent dramatic expansion of our knowledge about how cell surface receptors transmit signals to the nucleus, together with the identification of key signaling and cell-cycle-regulating molecules, has provided a major opportunity to search for novel targets for therapeutic intervention in many di...
