Description
Common Mechanisms of Transformation by Small DNA Tumor Viruses presents comprehensive research findings from the ICN-UCI Conferences in Virology, focusing on the fundamental processes through which small DNA viruses induce cellular transformation and oncogenesis.
The book examines shared molecular pathways and mechanisms employed by various DNA tumor viruses, including papillomaviruses, polyomaviruses, and adenoviruses, to transform host cells. Contributors explore viral gene expression, interactions with tumor suppressor proteins, disruption of cell cycle regulation, and evasion of apoptotic mechanisms.
This volume synthesizes current knowledge on viral oncology, providing scientists, virologists, and researchers with detailed insights into how these pathogens manipulate cellular machinery. The work bridges fundamental virology with cancer biology, offering essential understanding of virus-induced cellular transformation that has implications for both basic research and clinical applications in cancer prevention and treatment.
