Mechanisms of Cell Death and Opportunities for Therapeutic Development Perspectives in Translational Cell Biology Series

Mechanisms of Cell Death and Opportunities for Therapeutic Development, volume four in the Perspectives in Translational Cell Biology series, offers content for professors, students and researchers across basic and translational biology. The book covers fundamental mechanisms, ranging from different forms of cell death and drug development, to efforts for treating disease, providing a valuable resource for readers interested in understanding cell death and relevant translational research. The book's editor, Diaqing Liao, has over twenty years? experience teaching topics of cell death.

1. An overview of cell death in health and disease 2. Cell death:machinery and regulation 3. Molecular mechanisms of cell death: A brief overview 4. Major methods and technologies for assessing cell death 5. Proteotoxicity and endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated cell death 6. Protein phase separation in cell death and survival 7. Therapeutics targeting the BCL-2 pathway 8. Ferroptosis: lipids, iron, cellualar defese mechanisms and opportunities for drug development

in the fields of biomedical research and drug discovery and development including graduate students, postdocs and faculty in academia and scientists in research and development in biotech and pharmaceutical industry.
