Summary "This book reviews the role of mitochondria in cell death and disease through a series of chapters which present the latest research and thinking on the subject from some of the key researchers in the field. Several different lines of research have converged on the mitochondrion and its role in cell death, including mitochondrial permeability transition, apoptosis, neurodegeneration and excitotoxicity, mitochondrial DNA diseases, free radicals and nitric oxide and hypoxia/ischaemia. This volume will help to unravel these complex multiple interactions, as well as to stimulate further breakthroughs in this exciting field. It contains essential reading for researchers and postgraduates in all areas of biology and medical science."--BOOK JACKET
