How is growth controlled in normal cells? How are the growth
control mechanisms perturbed in cancer cells? This book provides an
up-to-date description of research aimed at resolving these
questions. It is organized into four sections, each containing a
series of short reviews written by experts in the field. The
general headings are: growth factors, receptors, and related
oncogenes: transduction of mitogenic signals and "ras" oncogenes;
nuclear oncogenes and regulation of gene expression; and multiple
steps involved in malignant transformation. The articles emphasize
concepts rather than detailed facts and are intended not only for
specialists in the field but also for interested readers, such as
physicians and advanced students, who wish to stay abreast of
developments in one of the most exciting fields in current
biomedical research.
The HIV/AIDS pandemic is the most devastating global public health
crisis since the great plagues of the Middle Ages, with more than
14,000 new HIV infections and 8,000 deaths due to AIDS every day.
Although successful vaccines have been developed for most common
childhood diseases, the development of a vaccine against the AIDS
virus is a much greater challenge. More than 20 years after the
discovery of the virus, the goal of a licensed and globally
accessible vaccine is still several years away. AIDS Vaccine
Development reviews the scientific challenges that have impeded the
search for an effective AIDS vaccine and discusses current novel
research that is accelerating progress. In a series of mini-reviews
by the world's leading experts in AIDS vaccine research, the book
provides essential reading for everyone interested in the current
progress and future direction of AIDS vaccine development.
