This study is concernced with the process of cell death in human cells by programmed cell death or apoptosis, and the modulation of this process by drugs. Its focus is on human biology and medicine. Apoptosis is a prevalent type of cell death with importance in human diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease and autoimmune disorders. The book combines the work of scientists and writers from fields as diverse as neurosciences, immunology, pathology and cancer research. There is detailed analysis of the molecular and cellular aspects of apoptosis including the specific genes and molecules involved in the regulation of this special form of programmed cell death. Scientists, clinicians and researchers involved in studies of human biology and medicine should find this book a useful resource.
