This second volume of a two-volume set explores the cell biology and biochemical functions of tumor suppressor genes, and examines their role in vivo. The book details physical methods used to understand the function of these genes, and discusses in vivo approaches, tumor progression models, and the drug discovery process, as well as screening strategies, targeting the blood supply of tumors, and the replacement of defective cancer genes. El-Deiry is affiliated with the Department of Medicine, Genetics, and Pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.Copyright 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
