Short description
This new edition provides a basis for understanding cell cycle and growth control as it relates to biological regulation, with an emphasis on aberrations accompanying the onset and progression of cancer. It covers cellular, biochemical, molecular, and genetic approaches to investigating the control of processes in cell cycle. The fundamental principles, as well as the conceptual and experimental approaches to the study of proliferation, are presented, followed by detailed discussions of the applications to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
