<br/><br/> Programmed cell death (PCD) has become a topic of widespread interest and experimentation over the past decade. Understanding the biochemical pathways that participate in the cell death process has become an important goal in developmental biology, neurobiology, cardiology, and infectious disease research and has become a major area of investigation in the field of cancer biology. Written by experts to the field, Apoptosis: Pharmacological Implications and Therapeutic Opportunities presents a summary of PCD pathways as currently understood, an outline of areas requiring further exploration, and a description of therapeutic possibilities suggested by recent biochemical discoveries.<br/>Apoptosis: Pharmacological Implications and Therapeutic Opportunities contains an overview for those with a general interest in apoptosis, and provides discussions of sufficient depth to be useful for specialists in the field.
