| Summary |
"This volume presents an excellent overview into the world of cell adhesion. It provides important details about the main players in all aspects of cell junctions."--The Quarterly Review of Biology, September 2009. Eagerly awaited, this comprehensive book on a topic of fundamental importance in our understanding of cancer begins with an overview of cellular junctions, before covering in detail cell-matrix junctions, cell-cell junctions as well as cell-matrix and cell-cell adhesion. This reference work is of high interest to cell and molecular biologists, cancer researchers, oncologists, bioche |
