Inhibitors of Cell Growth

The study of the control of cell growth is of particular importance for the understanding of cancer and various developmental abnormalities. This book considers both internal and external regulators of cell division, and addresses therapeutic applications and structure-function relationships. This book will be of interest to both cell biologists and biomedical researchers.
