Publisher's Synopsis
Phospholipases in Physiology and Pathology is a thorough, comprehensive overview of the mechanistic and therapeutic aspects of phospholipases. The seven-volume set considers an elegant approach to unravelling the potential biochemical and molecular mechanisms of phospholipases in health and diseases. Additionally, the book discusses the use of phospholipases and their metabolites, and their downstream signaling components, as therapeutic targets for establishing prevention strategies. Volume 4, Role of Phospholipases in Inflammation, Gene Expression, and Apoptosis, covers the role of phospholipases in inflammation and apoptosis. In addition, some chapters have been included that relate to the implications of phospholipases in gene expression, noncoding RNAs, and epigenetic mechanisms in diseases such as neuronal conditions, atherosclerosis, and several types of cancers.
