Описание: This publication thoroughly addresses the molecular causes of certain human diseases. The book is divided like many medical textbooks into subspecialty areas. In our case this includes sections in cardiopulmonary disease, oncology, endocrinology, infectious disease, allergy/rheumatology, and neurology/psychiatry. Diseases discussed include among others cancer, asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson disease, and depression. In addition, we outline the current understanding of diverse pathways from MAPK activation in cancer to the role of NF-kB in asthma and arthritis, from JAK/STAT signaling in immune deficiencies to the molecular basis of dysentery.
