Reviewing the most current research in this rapidly expanding yet resourcelimited field LipidMediated Signaling provides a much needed examination of adecades worth of research tying pathologic disorders such as cancer andautoimmunity problems to aberrant or deregulated signal transduction processes.It considers particular cells tissues and organ systems and discusses recentefforts to identify the various signaling proteins that govern their behavior.The book divides its material under five topics fatty acid metabolismeicosanoid formation acyl hydrolase activity phospholipids and nuclearsignaling and gene expression. It includes contributions from a number ofpioneering experts in this emerging field. «
