Apoptosis: Mechanism in Target-Organ Toxicology

by Sid Ray

The only comprehensive treatment of mechanisms underlying toxicant-induced apoptotic cell death in body tissue, this is the first review of apoptosis induced in vivo in target organs and specific cell types by environmental agents and drugs. Featuring major organ systems that are frequently involved in disease or pathological conditions linked to exposure to drugs or environmental agents, the book builds on previous works concerning target organ toxicology by considering how cells die and identifying general and specific areas requiring further investigation.
