About this book
Reviews
“This is a concise monograph on the pathophysiological role of molecules called metallothioneins in cancerous cells including GI, GU, renal, endocrine, and CNS systems. Normal physiology of these compounds is described well. The biochemical pathways, signal transduction, and cellular mechanisms are discussed in depth. … I recommend this book to those interested in physiology and cancer research. Students, fellows and experts will all find this reference beneficial.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2016)
