Overview
- First volume to comprehensively explore the role of proteases in various diseases
- Provides information on the pathogenesis of cellular dysfunction, with strong emphasis on identifying proteases and their endogenous inhibitors as targets for drug development
- Utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to biochemical and signal transduction mechanisms associated with deregulation of proteases leading to manifestation of the diseases?
