Beyond Apoptosis

<p>Addressing a major field of interest for oncologists cell biologists and other biomedical researchers <strong><em>Beyond Apoptosis</em></strong> provides an overview of how different biological mechanisms of cell death senescence and mitotic catastrophe stop the growth of tumor cells treated with anticancer agents.</p><p></p><p>Written by internationally renowned contributors this text includes: </p><p></p><ul> <p/><ul> <p/> </ul> <p/><li>morphological illustrations as well as a DVD containing documents and video clips from various time-lapse microscopic studies of cell death and mitotic catastrophe</li> <p/><li>the role and limitations of apoptosis as a determinant of the toxicity of anticancer agents</li> <p/><li>alternative mechanisms of the antiproliferative actions of anticancer drugs and radiation such as non-apoptotic cell death cell senescence and mitotic catastrophe</li> <p/><li>non-apoptotic forms of cell death such as necrosis paraptosis autophagic cell death and others</li> <p/><li>morphological and kinetic differences of the various forms of cell death</li> </ul>
