Nitric Oxide and Cancer: Pathogenesis and Therapy

Advances in Nitric Oxide and Cancer is a volume that serves to give the latest research on nitric oxide (NO) and cancer. More specifically, the volume reviews significant advances in the application of NO-mediated drugs. The volume explores nitric oxide and its relationship to cancer spanning from its roles in the pathogenesis, prognosis, gene and protein modifications, regulation of resistance to cytotoxics, and therapeutic applications. With chapters written by leading experts, the volume addresses the burgeoning interest in a rapidly advancing field and provides a valuable resource to scientists who have initiated research as well as clinical investigations in their laboratories on the various roles of NO and cancer.

Explores the most recent advances in the field of Nitric Oxide (NO) and its relationship to cancer Includes latest information on NO role in pathogenesis, gene and protein modifications, and therapeutic applications Contributions written by notable experts in the field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

Nitric Oxide and Cancer: Pathogenesis and Therapy provides the latest research and applications of nitric oxide (NO) in cancer written by experts in the field. The volume reviews significant advances in the biochemical and molecular biology of NO-mediated effects in cancer. Additionally, it explores NO and its relationship to cancer, delineating its roles in the pathogenesis, prognosis, gene and protein modifications, regulation of resistance to cytotoxic drugs and immunotherapies, and potential therapeutic applications. Nitric Oxide and Cancer addresses the burgeoning interest in a rapidly advancing field, and serves as both a valuable resource for scientists, clinicians, students, and health professionals and a reference for teaching and educational purposes.
