Description for Viruses and Apoptosis
Paperback. The interactions between viruses and the cells they infect include the virus control of cellular functions to their advantage. The cell counteracts with a defensive immune system and stress responses. This book analyzes molecular pathways regulated by viral genes and their role in the pathogenesis of infection in different viral models. Editor(s): Alonso, Covadonga. Series: Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology / Marine Molecular Biotechnology. Num Pages: 358 pages, 16 black & white illustrations, 5 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSF; PSGL. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 18. Weight in Grams: 505.
The pathogenesis of viral infections involves dynamic interactions between viruses and hosts,which can result in different outcomes including cell death, elimination of the virus or latent infection.Viruses deliver genomes and p- teins with signaling potential into target cells, resulting in growth, prolife- tion and apoptosis.Viral infection modi?es key cell regulatory elements involved in apoptotic pathways to successfully accomplish viral replication despite the toxicity of viral products and the immune response elicited against the virus.Also,the interplay between virus-induced apoptosis and cell survival is mediated by an accurate balance between pro-death and anti-apoptotic signals triggered by cellular and viral proteins.Hence,viral survival products ...
