Full Description
This book offers an in-depth analysis of enzyme-based approaches in healthcare management, focusing on their transformative potential in cancer treatment. This volume delves into the intricate roles of enzymes in cancer progression and targeted therapy.
The book addresses a wide range of subjects, such as the functions of important enzymes in the biology of cancer, developments in targeting telomerase, the cell cycle, angiogenesis, and metastasis, and the possibility of using topoisomerase and PARP inhibitors to take advantage of weaknesses in cancer cells. It provides an in-depth analysis of non-glycolytic and glycolytic enzymes, tumor-driven angiogenesis, epigenetic regulation, and advanced therapeutic approaches, including nanotechnology and bispecific antibodies. It addresses key questions such as how enzymes contribute to cancer metabolism and how novel therapeutic strategies can exploit these pathways for more accurate and less dangerous cancer medicines. The book covers expert analyses of key enzymes involved in cancer biology, including hexokinase, phosphofructokinase-1, and matrix metalloproteinases.
This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, and professionals in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It offers a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying enzyme function in cancer and the development of innovative enzyme-targeted treatments. It is a must-read for those seeking to advance their understanding of enzyme-based healthcare management.
