The intensive study of molecular events leading to cellular transformation in tissue culture or in intact organisms culminated in the identification of 100 or more genes that can be defined as oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Functionally, these genes can be divided into several classes, each involved in a different step in transmission of signals from the exterior of the cell to the nucleus. The first oncogenes to be biochemically character ized included membrane receptors for growth factors, growth factors themselves, protein kinases or small GTP binding proteins involved in signal transduction. Later, the development of techniques to study pro teins-DNA interaction in eucaryotes and t...
We stand today on the threshold of a new understanding of cancer. Primarily through the powerful tools of molecular biology, unified hypotheses explaining the origins of the disease are emerging and rapidly being validated. This volume, which presents the latest findings from laboratories throughout the world on the role of RNA tumor viruses in cancer, is a celebration of these achievements and a prediction of further progress leading ultimately to the control of the disease. It is important in this context to recall the natural history or life cycle of RNA cancer virology. From the earliest days of the science, when viruses were first recognized as distinct biologic agents of etiologic sign...
This book provides an up-to-date monograph on the drug discovery and regulatory elements of therapeutics used to treat rare or "orphan" diseases.

The pace of discovery, within the EU, of scientific aspects of cancer research and of developments in the clinical field is so rapid that it is sometimes difficult to keep abreast. This brief overview attempts to highlight some of the advances in the field, as part of BIOMED programme funded research and specific results due to the co-operative spirit established by the scientific community. It is particularly worth noting the financial investment of 35 million ECU in the current programme, has d as a catalyst in attracting a large number of Member States funded research in pooling their collective knowledge base.
First Published in 1990, this book offers a full, comprehensive guide into the nature of cells. Carefully compiled and filled with a vast repertoire of notes, pictures, and references this book serves as a useful reference for Students of Medicine, Microbiology, and other practitioners in their respective fields.
The structure and metabolism of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells reveals their nature and evolution, which can lead to new treatments for infectious and malignant diseases. Goran Indjic, a physician and clinical microbiologist, shares a detailed analysis of the phenomena of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells in the book. Taking an innovative approach, he upends contemporary literature in the field. Relying on biology, philosophy, other scientific disciplines, and even art, Indjic offers fresh ideas and experiments for investigating the nature of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. According to this new approach, basic structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells consist of polypeptides that bu...
