  • Oncogenes Meet Metabolism

    From Deregulated Genes to a Broader Understanding of Tumour Physiology

    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    In 1920s, Otto Warburg described the phenomenon of ‘aerobic glycolysis’, the ability of tumour cells to convert glucose to lactate in the presence of normal oxygen conditions. Warburg’s hypothesis of an altered metabolism in cancer cells found no immediate acceptance, though it was latter confirmed for most human tumours. With the advent of molecular biology the focus in tumour research has ... Read more

  • Cancer Stem Cells

    Novel Concepts and Prospects for Tumor Therapy

    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Cancer stem cells werehave originally been identified in leukemia and later in several solid tumor types. They have very different properties from the bulk of the tumor, as they divide much more slowly and have very efficient drug- resistance mechanisms. Current treatments might largely spare cancer stem cells, thus leading to tumor recurrence and metastasis. The recent identification of growth ... Read more

  • Dento/Oro/Craniofacial Anomalies and Genetics

    Dental defects may be the physical expression of genetic defects, and so they can often be seen in a variety of syndromes associated with malformations of organs. However, dental defects are often not recognized, identified, nor characterised despite representing a possible diagnostic sign for an undiagnosed condition. This book addresses this gap by providing an understanding of dental genetics ... Read more
