This book will be essential to laboratory researchers studying the growth, division and death of cells.

About this title

Review

Is there a market for this book? The answer is a questionable yes ... a good buy. (T. Cotter, Br. J. Biomed Sci 1996)

the book is very readable, and, from the point of view of the quality/price ratio, is a good value for money ... This manual will be undoubtedly very useful to many scientists that sooner or later will finish to work in apoptosis, even if their initial aims were to work in cell proliferation. (Javier Naval and Alberto Anel, Universidad de Zaragoza, FEBS Letters 408 (1997))
