Description for Two Faces of Evil
Hardback. Recent findings suggest that some of the same molecules and biochemical processes underlying cancer may also participate in neurodegeneration. This book brings together experts from both fields with the aim to stimulate transdisciplinary interactions. Editor(s): Curran, Thomas; Christen, Yves. Series: Research and Perspectives in Alzheimer's Disease. Num Pages: 166 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL; PSAN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 471.
Homeostasis involves a delicate interplay between generative and degenerative processes to maintain a stable internal environment. In biological systems, equilibrium is established and controlled through a series of negative feedback mechanisms driven by a range of signal transduction processes. Failures in these complex communication pathways result in instability leading to disease. Cancer represents a state of imbalance caused by an excess of cell proliferation. In contrast, neurodegeneration is a consequence of excessive cell loss in the nervous system. Both of these disorders exhort profound tolls on humanity and they have been subject to a great deal of research designed to ... Read more

Reviews for Two Faces of Evil
From the reviews: “The authors look at the etiology and molecular pathophysiology of several genes involved in cellular demise and cell proliferation. … The book is going to be of interest to cell biologists primarily and anyone with an interest in cancer or neurodegeneration.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2013)
