Description
Book SynopsisFeaturing contributions from researchers in the diverse fields of neuroinjury, myocardial injury, diabetes, shock, and inflammation, this text examines the status of the field of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and cell death. It also explores PARP and apoptosis, PARP and DNA repair, as well as PARP and regulation of gene expression.
