microRNA : Cancer : From Molecular Biology to Clinical Practice

microRNA : Cancer : From Molecular Biology to Clinical Practice edited by Gaetano Santulli - 1st ed. 2015 - Cham, Switzerland Springer 2015 - 1 recurso en línea (XI, 235 p.) 17 il., 16 il. col. - Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology 889 0065-2598 . - Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology 889 .

This volume thoroughly explores of the functional role of microRNAs in cancer. It not only expertly describes the molecular mechanisms underlying the malignant transformation process but also compiles cutting-edge research on microRNAs in several forms of cancer, including colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, leukemia/lymphoma, prostate cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and bone cancer. Distinguished experts, currently working in prestigious institutions, elegantly discuss these fundamental themes. The text, which opens with a foreword by the renowned Dr. Carlo M. Croce, is enhanced by abundant color photographs, schemes, diagrams, and tables that fully support and complement the content. microRNA: Cancer is an ideal companion to both microRNA: Basic Science and microRNA: Medical Evidence. Taken together, these three books provide a state-of-the-art overview of this rapidly-expanding and fascinating field, from the molecular level to clinical practice. It will be invaluable to medical students, physicians, and researchers, as a complete and unique guide in the exploration of microRNA in basic science, cancer and clinical practice.
