1st Edition
by Asfar Azmi (Author)
Conquering RAS: From Biology to Cancer Therapy
provides introductory knowledge on how modern RAS biology is taking
shape in light of newer technological development. Each chapter is
written in a manner that emphasizes simplicity and readability for both
new investigators and established researchers. While RAS biology has
been intensively studied for more than three decades, we are yet to see
any effective therapeutics that could interfere in the signaling cascade
regulated by this master oncogene.
The book covers topics
ranging from basic RAS biology, to translational biology and drug
discovery applications. These topics will be appealing to basic
researchers working in labs who seek deeper understanding of the modern
concepts in RAS research. On the other side, the oncologist at the
patient’s bedside will find the book useful as they routinely face the
daunting task of treating patients that predominantly have a disease
driven by oncogenic KRAS.
- Brings together wide ranging topics in RAS basic and translational biology for the scientific and clinical communities
- Showcases recent advancements in RAS research under one comprehensive volume
- Includes
video clips, color illustrations, and important website links to
facilitate a clear understanding of RAS in cancer research
