ACCESSORIES

	Cytokines in the Genesis and Treatment of Cancer (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development) by Michael A. Caligiuri (Editor), Michael T. Lotze (Editor) Cytokines in the Genesis and Treatment of Cancer provides a comprehensive picture of the dual role of host responses in promoting and inhibiting tumor progression. This volume represents an important investigation into the emerging intersection of cancer biology and cancer immunology. Divided into four sections, the volume’s first three parts focus on cytokines in the genesis of cancer. The final section describes the notable progress — both in animal models and humans — in demonstrating...
	Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: Molecular Genetics, Mouse Models and Targeted Therapy (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology) by Pier Paolo Pandolfi (Editor), Peter K. Vogt (Editor) Over the past 10 years, work on acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) has become the paradigm of translational research that began with the discovery of a recurrent chromosomal translocation, followed by the identification of the genes and proteins involved, finding their molecular functions in transcriptional control, establishing mouse models and culminating in the development of targeted therapy.
	Regional Cancer Therapy (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development) by Peter M. Schlag (Editor), Ulrike Stein (Editor), M.M. Eggermont (Editor) This volume provides a biological and pharmacological background for regional cancer therapy, strategies and techniques for regional therapies, and specific indications and results for different tumor entities. Clinical trial concepts and detailed treatment protocols are also presented. Part I describes biological and pharmacological fundamentals for therapy and introduces laboratory models for isolated limb and organ perfusion. Topics introduced in Part II include interventional...

Product Description
Microtubule Targets in Cancer Therapy presents the first comprehensive exploration of the dynamic potential of microtubules anti-cancer targets. Written by leading anti-cancer researchers, this groundbreaking volume collects the most current microtubule research available. Among the topics examined in this volume are compounds that interact with tubulin, mechanisms and regulation by microtubule-associated proteins and drugs, MAPs, the tubulin superfamily its isotopes, peptides and depsipeptides, and neurodegenerative diseases.
