Apoptosis in Health and Disease - Part B, Volume 126 in the Advances in Protein Chemistry and Structural Biology focuses on apoptotic responses in numerous conditions - from bacterial and parasite infections, to pathological states such as oxidative stress, pulmonary hypertension, and different cancer types, etc. In addition, the book provides therapeutic strategies for targeting apoptosis. These new advanced understandings are playing a major influence in drug discovery and the introduction of new therapies that target the cell death process. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is the mechanism by which cells die either physiologically or pathologically. Vast research in apoptosis has advanced our understanding of basic physiological and pathological processes occurring in cells, organs and organisms, and its role in a number of diseases. Integrates experimental and computational methods for studying apoptosis in health and different diseasesIncludes strategies for identification of suitable therapeutic targetsDiscusses the design of treatments targeting key points in the apoptotic cascade INDICE: Contributors in the volume include:Santi Prasad Sinha BabuSoundarapandian KANNANSoundarapandian KANNANDayanidhi RamanGautam SethiMohammad AbidPankaj TanejaAnupam BishayeeHarikumar KBNatella EnukashvilySadhana R.
