Caspases as Molecular Targets for Cancer Therapy

Caspases as Molecular Targets for Cancer Therapy discusses recent developments on targeted therapies for cancer using caspases. It describes the selection of specific caspases for cancer therapy with the current standard-of-care and highlights numerous assay techniques for caspases activities. The book discusses topics such as mutations within apoptosis gene, inflammatory caspases, tumor suppression, and the different caspases types and their role in anticancer activity. In addition, it discusses caspases activity assay procedure and future perspectives. It is a valuable resource for researchers, students and members of the biomedical and medical fields who want to learn more about novel anticancer targeted therapies.
