Apoptosis, Senescence and Cancer (Cancer Drug Discovery and Development)

Humana Press, 2007

The goals of chemotherapy (and radiotherapy) are to eliminate tumor cell targets by promoting cell death. In recent years, a major focus has been placed on programmed cell death or apoptosis as the primary mechanism of cell killing. However, tumor cells may respond to various forms of treatment in diverse ways, only some of which...

DNA Vaccines (Methods in Molecular Medicine)

Humana Press, 2006

In the early 1990s, almost 200 yr after Edward Jenner demonstrated the effectiveness of the smallpox vaccine, a new paradigm for vaccination emerged. The conventional method of vaccination required delivery of whole pathogens or structural subunits, but in this new approach, DNA or genetic information was administered to elicit an...

Neural Development and Stem Cells (Contemporary Neuroscience)

Humana Press, 2005

Developing the second edition of Neural Development and Stem Cells was necessitated by the rapid increase in our knowledge of the development of the nervous system.
