A refreshing view on oxidative stress

Those investigators wondering what does oxidative stress mean to cell function will find in this book a new perspective. Written in an accesible language of basic cell biology, the text covers a broad range of subjects in an clear, orderly manner. Helpful in the formulation of mechanistic hypotheses for those interested in the pathophysiology and pharmacology of inflammation, cancer or aging, among others. The authors include some "big names" but are mostly mid-career and young investigators whose refreshing views, combined with the experience of the editors in the field make the book unusually exciting and meaningful.
