Functional gene analysis (genomics), protein analysis (proteomics) and other molecular biological techniques have made it possible to understand the basic mechanisms of human disease, opening up exciting opportunities for novel therapeutic possibilities.
Molecular Pathomechanisms and New Trends in Drug Research presents an in-depth review of the molecular mechanisms involved in a number of common diseases including cancer, AIDS, inflammation, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders among others, with particular emphasis on signal transduction and potential therapeutic strategies. It will be a useful reference text for students and researchers in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine and pharmaceutical science.
