Unravelling the intricate cell signalling networks and their significance in cancer poses major intellectual challenge. Keeping this in mind, the book aims at understanding the mechanism of action of different proteins and their complexes in the cancer signalling pathways. Hence, the proposed book that comprises 20 chapters provides a comprehensive introduction on cell signalling, its alterations in cancer, molecules that have been popular targets as well as the ones that are emerging as targets. In addition, it discusses different forms of therapy that are coming up for its treatment. Other than that, a major portion of the book is focused on studying different disciplines at the interface of biology and other areas of science that are being used to understand cancer biology in depth.
The primary aim of this book is to correlate the challenging medical problem i.e. cancer with the different plausible solutions through thorough description of an array of research possibilities in this field. The amalgamation of these two aspects of cancer cell biology makes this book proposal a unique and first-of-its-kind venture
The comprehensive nature of the book will provide an opportunity for it to be adopted as a text book in courses that teach cancer cell signaling and different relevant advanced techniques
It can be used as a guide to cancer cell biology in any laboratory and will be extremely useful to scientists, graduate students and post docs alike
