Molecular Basis of Thyroid Cancer
Molecular Basis of thyroid Cancer brings together top-flight experts from across the globe to consider present state of the art treatment and techniques and what the future holds. The product of this effort is invaluable to endocrinologists, particularly those with an interest in the thyroid, molecular oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians and those in biotechnology intent on devising innovative therapies for cancer. "Significant advances in our understanding of thyroid cancer have occurred over the previous decade. This text discusses the molecular alterations and pathologic manifestations seen in this disease. Distinguished investigators address both the basic biology and clinical issues pertinent to our understanding and management of patients with thyroid cancer."
Hormonal control of cell cycle
This volume reflects the proceedings of an International Workshop held in Paris in December 2006. The aim of the meeting was to undertake a high level of scholarly exchange between experts in cell biology, oncology and endocrinology interested in cell cycle control. The topics covered ranged from fundamental studies of DNA replication,chromosomal and nuclear function through growth factor control of endocrine tumor initiation and progression.
Gene Expression and Regulation
This book offers a comprehensive look into the science of gene expression and regulation. Focusing on topics such as actions of nuclear receptors, RNA processing, and DNA methylation and imprinting, Gene Expression and Regulation is edited by a leading biologist and includes contributions by experts in the field. Presented in the following five sections, this book covers a full spectrum of topics: The History; The Machinery; The Regulators; The Genome; and Special Topics. The Machinery section covers the transcriptional apparatus and general transcription factors. The Regulators section examines selected gene-specific transcription factors important to regulating gene expression. The Genome section covers issues relevant to the behavior of the genome in relation to gene regulation. The Special Topics section discusses several selected topics ranging from bacterial and plant gene expression to DNA topology and interference RNA. The book’s focus is on scientific concepts and issues, rather than specific organisms or experimental approaches.
