They develop dependence over signaling cues received from their microenvironment, in particular from other cells, whether of their own “kind” or of a different type. Therefore, communicating with these cells is a critical aspect of their behavior and fate, as they live and die normally or as they undergo disease-related pathological changes, with dramatic repercussions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book\u003ci\u003e,\u003c\/i\u003e we have asked expert researchers in the field of \u003ci\u003eIntercellular Communication in Cancer\u003c\/i\u003e to provide chapters on different aspects of interaction between neighboring cells, in the context of cancer diseases. We have specifically focused our efforts on membrane-to-membrane contact-based rather than growth factors-mediated modes of intercellular communications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributing authors provide an extensive overview of their respective area of specialization, with an in-depth discussion of the molecular mechanisms of cell-cell interactions, the impact on tumor progression and response to therapies, as well as the cancer diagnostic value of this scientific information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eaims to introduce essential aspects of the normal and pathological cellular fate and homeostasis to both scientists and clinicians, and also to provide established researchers with an update on the novelties and future directions this expanding field is witnessing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-11-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401773799\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-7380-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 366\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44542794137740,"sku":"9789401773799","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401773799.jpg?v=1779060574","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401773799","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
