Download or read book Oncogenes Genes and Growth Factors written by Gordon Guroff and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1987 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Touching on virtually every area of biological science, from neurobiology to oncology and from basic research to clinical protocols, the chapters in this contributed work address every known structural relationship between growth factor, or growth factor receptor, and oncogene. The seminal observations published three years ago by Doolittle et al and Waterfield et al that there is a close structural relationship between the platelet-derived growth factor and the V-sis oncogene electrified the field. And aside from their structural relationship, it is now clear that many of the growth factors, acting on their target cells, induce the transcription of a battery of oncogenes. This volume represents the first effort to collect such material in one place. Chapters cover in detail the background information available about the factors for which relationships have been established. Other chapters offer detailed discussions of growth factor receptor genes for which relationships have not yet been observed. The information gathered here should prove invaluable to researchers in this new and rapidly advancing field.
Download or read book Oncogenes and Growth Control written by Patricia Kahn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is growth controlled in normal cells? How are the growth control mechanisms perturbed in cancer cells? This book provides an up-to-date description of research aimed at resolving these questions. It is organized into four sections, each containing a series of short reviews written by experts in the field. The general headings are: growth factors, receptors, and related oncogenes: transduction of mitogenic signals and ras oncogenes; nuclear oncogenes and regulation of gene expression; and multiple steps involved in malignant transformation. The articles emphasize concepts rather than detailed facts and are intended not only for specialists in the field but also for interested readers, such as physicians and advanced students, who wish to stay abreast of developments in one of the most exciting fields in current biomedical research.

Download or read book Signal Transduction in Cancer written by David A. Frank and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most exciting areas of cancer research now is the development of agents which can target signal transduction pathways that are activated inappropriately in malignant cells. The understanding of the molecular abnormalities which distinguish malignant cells from their normal counterparts has grown tremendously. This volume summarizes the current research on the role that signal transduction pathways play in the pathogenesis of cancer and how this knowledge may be used to develop the next generation of more effective and less toxic anticancer agents. Series Editor comments: "The biologic behavior of both normal and cancer cells is determined by critical signal transduction pathways. This text provides a comprehensive review of the field. Leading investigators discuss key molecules that may prove to be important diagnostic and/or therapeutic targets."

Download or read book Biology of Growth Factors written by J. E. Kudlow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growth factors are elaborated to control the growth of cells in such physiological processes as wound healing, tissue regeneration and the immune response. Abnormal production of these growth factors, their receptors or intracellular med!ators of their action may lead to disease states including oncogenesis. This volume will focus on exciting developments in defining the precise molecular lesions that permit the conversion of controlled proliferative signals to neoplasia, on the possible involvement of growth factors in the development of blood vessel diseases as seen in diabetes and atherosclerosis, on the altered immune surveillance that leads to autoimmunity and on the fundamental mechanisms by which growth factors signal their target cells. We expect that the contents of this volume will help promote understanding of the role of these fundamental biological processes and their alterations in a wide variety of disease states and stimulate new investi gations in this important area of biomedical research.
