When a virus infects a cell the virus takes control of cellular functions to its advantage. The cell counteracts with its defensive immune system and stress responses. Both sides of this struggle bring about modifications in the cell death program, which is crucial for the infection outcome.

 

In this book, molecular pathways regulated by viral genes and their role in the pathogenesis of infection are analyzed using different viral models. The book also offers an update of known signaling pathways in apoptosis and their role in normal and infected cells. Special emphasis is given to molecular pathways underlying viral transformation and oncogenesis and how research in this area is opening opportunities in cancer therapy. Particular cell types in apoptosis, such as neuronal cells and lymphoid cells, are also explored.

 

This book provides an in-depth update of viral gene interactions with regulation pathways in apoptosis for scientists and researchers in molecular biology, virology, cell biology, oncology, and neurobiology.
