Produktbeschreibung

DNA repair is a rapidly advancing field in biology. DNA repair systems represent a major defense mechanism against environmental and intracellular damaging agents, such as sunlight, ionizing radiation, and reactive oxygen species. With contributions from eminent researchers, this book explores the basics and current trends in this critical field. In particular, it provides essential information to scientists, pharmaceutical investigators, and clinicians interested in cancer therapy.
