Full Description
Accumulating evidence supports the role of defects in post-transcriptional gene regulation in the development of cancer. "RNA and Cancer" focuses on the recent advances in our understanding of post-transcriptional gene regulation, especially RNA processing and its role in cancer development and treatment.
