- Full title :Transcription Factors / edited by Manfred Gossen, Jörg Kaufmann, Steven J. Triezenberg.
Summary
The present volume, authored by leading experts in the field, contains in-depth information regarding the role of transcription factors as key players in the execution of the genomic program of any given cell. Many of the chapters focus on the role of transcription factors in cellular transformation and cancer, other chapters highlight the contributions of transcription factors to inflammatory responses or xenobiotic responses. Moreover, the volume illustrates how a viral transcription factor interferes with the physiology of its host cell and finally points out how much exciting research transcription factor biology still has to offer.
