OverviewThis work provides the first comprehensive compendium of the progress made in understanding the process of cell death related to HIV and the potential breakthroughs in treatment that offer much promise. Combining the work of more than two dozen top researchers, this seminal volume provides clinicians and researchers with an excellent reference while also serving as an incubator to stimulate future research. It explains the fundamental biology involved with apoptosis, explains its clinical impact in HIV, and examines the newest therapeutic approaches. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Andrew D.
