Tumor Microenvironment and Cellular Stress. Signaling, Metabolism, Imaging, and Therapeutic Targets

Tumor Microenvironment and Cellular Stress. Signaling, Metabolism, Imaging, and Therapeutic Targets. Edited by C. Koumenis, E. Hammond, A. Giaccia. 2014, pp. 290, Eur 149.79, ISBN: 978-1-4614-5914-9. Springer Science + Business Media, New York, NY, USA.

The collection of chapters in this proceeding volume reflects the latest research presented at the Aegean meeting on Tumor Microenvironment and Cellular Stress held in Crete in Fall of 2012. The book focuses on tumor microenvironment effects on tumor metabolism, cell stemness, cell viability, genomic instability and more. Additional topics include identifying common pathways that are potential candidates for therapeutic intervention, which will stimulate collaboration between groups that are more focused on elucidation of biochemical aspects of stress biology and groups that study the patho-physiological aspects of stress pathways or engaged in drug discovery.
