Springer Apoptosis: Pezcoller Symposium Proceedings Vol. 5

Explore the foundational research presented at the fifth Annual Pezcoller Symposium held in Trento, Italy. This volume, published by Springer, compiles essential scientific discussions regarding Programmed Cell Death (PCD) and apoptosis. The text covers the specific phenomena and molecular mechanisms that drive the suicidal process in cells. It provides detailed insights into the genetics determining PCD and examines how these processes impact both the immune system and cancer development. Readers will find research on the functions of p53, c myc, and bel 2 in various cell types. The volume also investigates the roles of ions and intracellular pH changes in the apoptotic process. This collection serves as a significant resource for medical professionals and researchers studying internal medicine and cellular biology.
