Bacterial Protein Toxins - Role in the Interference With Cell Growth Regulation

Klappentext Comprehensive 2005 review of current research concerning bacterial toxins and their interference with cell growth regulation. Zusammenfassung Bacterial toxins are potent molecular poisons that are released by bacteria to cause disease. This 2005 book describes how toxins can enter cells to subvert cell function by interfering with the key processes involved in cell growth and division! and the ability of cells to differentiate into specialised cells.
