Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas naturally found in the body that conveys information between cells. In the last decade researchers have found that NO is a signaling molecule of key importance for the cardiovascular system, regulating blood pressure and blood flow to different organs.…
This volume includes contributions by the leading experts in the field of yeast aging. Budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and other fungal organisms provide models for aging research that are relevant to organismic aging and to the aging processes occurring in the human bo…
It is pointed out that cancer stem cell is a cell type within a tumor that possesses the capacity of cell-renewal and can give rise to the heterogeneous lineages of cancer cells that comprise the tumor. It is emphasized that a cancer stem cell is a tumor initiating cell. That co…

Cancer is a class of disease or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues. One new approach in dealing with cancer is through apoptotic regulators, which is the process of controlling cell growth by abnormall…
This volume presents a current overview of key genes involved in the control of apoptosis research together with thoughts on future prospects and clinical applications. Top scientists from around the world wrote on current progresses to help establish and/or strengthen communica…
In this book, scientists pioneering the field have compiled a series of focused chapters to highlight the relevance of the BCLa'2 family of proteins in apoptosis, physiology and disease. An important focus of this volume is considering the potential therapeutic benefits of targe…
