Description
Each volume of "Advances in Pharmacology" provides a rich collection of reviews on timely topics. Emphasis is placed on the molecular bases of drug action, both applied and experimental. Volume 40, "GeneTherapy", features important new research on gene transfers and therapy in the herpes simplex virus, anti-tumor immunity, steroid receptors, cystic fibroses, and more. It also provides an excellent overview on a series of topics on gene therapy for the serious investigator.
Reviews / Votes
Praise for the Serial "Recommended not only to pharmacologists but also to all those in related disciplines." --NATURE "The works do represent an extensive compilation of recent data by outstanding researchers in this area. They are generally scientifically excellent, the bibliographies are good, and the individual reports are clear, concise, and extremely well illustrated." --H.E. Kaufmann in CHEMOTHERAPY "Superb reading material." --JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES Praise for the Volume "This volume is intended for the reader with considerable background, experience, training, and knowledge in the field of gene therapy... is well written, comprehensive, and informative." --Eugene Pergament, Northwestern University Medical School, DODDY REVIEW.More details
