Growth Regulation and Carcinogenesis: Volume 2

by Walter R. Paukovits

Overview

Growth Regulation and Carcinogenesis discusses topics such as growth factors, including stimulators and inhibitors of proliferation; networks in proliferation regulation; differentiation-inducing factors; origins of neoplasia and their relationship to growth control; genetic alterations in cellular regulatory machinery; extrachromosomal phenomena; non-genotoxic carcinogens; immortalization and transformation of cells; and the role of cell production, cell function, and cell elimination in physiological growth control.
