MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
This book presents the first comprehensive exploration of the dynamic potential of microtubules anti-cancer targets. Written by leading anti-cancer researchers, this groundbreaking volume collects the most current microtubule research available and investigates the potential of microtubules in cancer therapy.
