摘要:This monograph is the very first book to comprehensively review the molecular links between G proteins, in particular the Ras/Rho family of GTPases, actin-cytoskeleton and tumorigenesis. More than 25 international experts in this rapidly developing field have contributed up-to-date chapters to this volume. This information will aid in understanding how actin-cytoskeleton is dramatically rearranged during malignant transformation. This information will aid in the design of novel drugs, potentially useful in the treament of cancer.
