Description
Autophagy, Apoptosis and Ferroptosis in Oncology
This specialist oncology reference examines three biologically distinct forms of cellular regulation and cell death—autophagy, apoptosis and ferroptosis—and their relationships to tumor development, cellular stress and anticancer research.
Clinical and Scientific Coverage
- Autophagy and the recycling of intracellular components in normal and malignant cells.
- Molecular pathways governing programmed apoptosis.
- Iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and ferroptotic cell death.
- Interaction between redox signaling, metabolism and cellular survival.
- The tumor microenvironment and resistance to cellular stress.
- Investigational therapeutic approaches designed to modify cell-death responses.
How to Use This Reference
Understanding the differences between these mechanisms is important for interpreting experimental oncology findings. The material is most useful as a molecular research reference; laboratory hypotheses about regulating cell death must not be confused with proven treatment effects in patients.
Intended Readers
Cancer biologists, molecular pathologists, oncologists, biomedical researchers and postgraduate students.
