The Role of Apoptosis in Development, Tissue Homeostasis and Malignancy

This volume, which arises from a Royal Society discussion meeting, provides an up-to-date overview of current research into programmed cell death from international scientists. Key topics discussed include genetic control of programmed cell death in development, regulation of cell death in cancer cells, influence of signals, modulators and effectors on cell death and clinical applications. Each chapter is well refereed and provides good access to other relevant literature for those not familiar with the area.
