Eicosanoids and Other Bioactive Lipids in Cancer, Inflammation, and Radiation Injury 2, 1997 Part A Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology Series, Vol. 400

Over one hundred contributions detail advances in the molecular and cellular biology of eicosanoid production, as well as their role in signal transduction. One of the most exciting developments explored within this collection of articles is the expression of the novel isoform of cyclooxygenase (cox-2), which may play a large role in the development of anti-inflammatory drugs.
