Basic and Clinical Oncology #36: Metal Ions in Biological Systems

by Astrid Sigel

Basic and Clinical Oncology #36: Metal Ions in Biological Systems Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Continues the tradition of excellence established in previous volumes in this acclaimed series. Volume 36 focuses on the vibrant research area concerning the interrelation between free radicals and metal ions and their resulting effects on life processes; it offers an authoritative and timely account of this fascinating area of research in 21 chapters.

Book News Annotation:

Highlights the commonly accepted view about the role of oxygen-derived radicals in aging and their involvement in diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, amyloidosis, and osteoarthritis. Describes the damage to DNA by radicals and their migration through the DNA helix, lipid peroxidation, the formation of methemoglobin, the role of thiyl radicals, and other topics. Also explores the role of nitrogen monoxide, or nitric oxide, a ubiquitous biological messenger molecule, and its interplay with metal ions, and the potential clinical use of nitrogen monoxide modulators in certain diseases. No scientific consensus has been reached on many of the topics and contributors of the 21 studies do not always agree with each other.
