Essentials of Apoptosis A Guide for Basic and Clinical Research

Recent apoptosis research has revealed the process' complex molecular and biochemical mechanisms, even as it has also complicated its study, particularly when trying to generalize findings from multiple laboratories or applying methods used in one context to another system. In Essentials of Apo...
