Description for Vesicle Trafficking in Cancer
Hardcover. This book reports on recent progress in understanding the role of vesicular transport in cancer, including recent studies which raise the intriguing possibility that drug-mediated normalization of vesicular transport may serve as a therapeutic goal in cancer. Editor(s): Yarden, Yosef; Tarcic, Gabi. Num Pages: 393 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJCL; PSF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 161 x 28. Weight in Grams: 732.
Endocytosis and vesicular trafficking determine the landscape of the cell’s exterior, namely the density of surface molecules, such as receptors for growth factors and cytokines, adhesion molecules like integrins and cadherins, and a plethora of nutrient carriers. Hence, endocytosis is involved in signal transduction, cell adhesion and migration, as well as metabolism. To exploit these fundamental processes, malignancies subtly and multiply manipulate the endocytosis and the subsequent trafficking of protein cargoes. This is achieved by simultaneously altering the cytoskeleton, vesicle budding, cargo sorting and intracellular degradation. By highlighting the underlying molecular processes and concentrating on specific examples, this book reviews ... Read more
