Vesicle trafficking in cancer / edited by Yosef Yarden, Gabi Tarcic

Contributor(s): Yarden, Yosef, editor literario | Tarcic, Gabi, editor literario
Material type: materialTypeLabelE-bookPublisher: New York : Springer International Publishing, 2013Description: 1 recurso en línea (XIV, 393 p.) : 50 il., 47 il. col..ISBN: 9781461465287.Subject: Cáncer -- InvestigaciónOnline resources: Acceso a este recurso digital (usuarios Universidad Europea de Madrid)Digital Resources Summary: Endocytosis and vesicular trafficking determine the landscape of the cellâ€{u3825}xterior, namely the density of surface molecules, such as receptors for growth factors and cytokines, adhesion molecules like integrins and cadherins, and a plethora of nutrient carriers. Hence, endocytosis is involved in signal transduction, cell adhesion and migration, as well as metabolism. To exploit these fundamental processes, malignancies subtly and multiply manipulate the endocytosis and the subsequent trafficking of protein cargoes. This is achieved by simultaneously altering the cytoskeleton, vesicle budding, cargo sorting and intracellular degradation. By highlighting the underlying molecular processes and concentrating on specific examples, this book reviews the recent emergence of derailed endocytosis and vesicular trafficking as a landmark of cancer. In-depth understanding of this common feature of tumors might lead the way to drug-induced strategies, able to rectify intracellular trafficking in cancer
