Author Description

Comprising contributions by an international team of scientists at the forefront of one of today's liveliest areas of biomedical research, The Molecular Basis of Cell Cycle and Growth Control reports on the state of the science in cell growth and regulation from conceptual, experimental, and clinical perspectives. Written at a level that will appeal to professionals as well as graduate and medical students, it explores a wide range of related topics, with an emphasis on the identification of checkpoints and restriction points and the mechanisms of proliferation competency and cell cycle progression. The Molecular Basis of Cell Cycle and Growth Control is an indispensable working resource for biomedical researchers, cell biologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, developmental biologists, molecular geneticists, molecular oncologists, cancer biologists, immunologists, and molecular pathologists.
