From the reviews: "The authors look at the etiology and molecular pathophysiology of several genes involved in cellular demise and cell proliferation. ... The book is going to be of interest to cell biologists primarily and anyone with an interest in cancer or neurodegeneration." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, September, 2013)
