Mechanisms of Cell Injury: Implications for Human Health (Dahlem Workshop Reports-(LS) Life Sciences)

International experts evaluate mechanisms of chemically induced cell injury and cell death and their implications for human health. Among the wide variety of topics explored are the role of metabolism in mediating toxicity, molecular mechanisms of cell injury/cell death, approaches for estimating human exposure to toxic chemicals, and the known roles of toxic chemicals in human target organ toxicity. The discussions are intended to provide an overview of the most recent work in this area, to define and discuss research priorities in this field, and to indicate directions for future research.
