Inflammatory breast cancer is the most deadly subtype of breast cancer because it can spread to other organs despite of multidisciplinary approach. However, the molecular characteristic of this aggressive disease is yet to be established. This book is the one of the few textbooks that summarizes the latest information dated to inflammatory breast cancer. The uniqueness of this book is that it has summarized the latest molecular and mechanistic findings, which may lead to novel diagnostic tool or therapeutic approach to fight this deadly disease.

Sets the stage for the design and application of new protein cages

Featuring contributions from a team of international experts in the coordination chemistry of biological systems, this book enables readers to understand and take advantage of the fascinating internal molecular environment of protein cages. With the aid of modern organic and polymer techniques, the authors explain step by step how to design and construct a variety of protein cages. Moreover, the authors describe current applications of protein cages, setting the foundation for the development of new applications in biology, nanotechnology, synthetic chemistry, and other disciplines.

Based on a thorough review of the literature as well as the authors' own laboratory experience, "Coordination Chemistry in Protein Cages"Sets forth the principles of coordination reactions in natural protein cagesDetails the fundamental design of coordination sites of small artificial metalloproteins as the basis for protein cage designDescribes the supramolecular design and assembly of protein cages for or by metal coordinationExamines the latest applications of protein cages in biology and nanotechnologyDescribes the principles of coordination chemistry that govern self-assembly of synthetic cage-like molecules

Chapters are filled with detailed figures to help readers understand the complex structure, design, and application of protein cages. Extensive references at the end of each chapter serve as a gateway to important original research studies and reviews in the field.

With its detailed review of basic principles, design, and applications, "Coordination Chemistry in Protein Cages" is recommended for investigators working in biological inorganic chemistry, biological organic chemistry, and nanoscience.

Now in this, its second edition, this fully revised clinical guidebook is an essential resource for the practitioner, allowing quick, authoritative access to the latest and best in multimodality therapies. Topics covered in this volume include everything from screening for early detection of breast cancer, through diagnostic radiology and ultrasonography, to post-treatment rehabilitation, symptom management and quality of life. Two new chapters on molecular prognostic and predictive markers, and sexuality and fertility issues in women with breast cancer, have been added. This is the 7th volume in the M.D. Anderson Cancer Care Series, featuring the best standard treatment protocols from the experts at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
