Translation and Its Regulation in Cancer Biology and Medicine edited by Armen Parsyan.

This book, for the first time, comprehensively assembles and analyzes a large body of information on the role of the fundamental mechanism of the protein biosynthesis pathway, translation, in cancer biology. It systematically explores the function of the translation machinery and its regulation, inc...
