nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The serendipitously discovered link between developmental biology and cancer, touched of an explosion of discoveries on the role of Notch in human malignancies, including every aspect of cancer biology, from control of differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis in transformed cells to angiogenesis, tumor-stroma interaction and anti-cancer immune responses. A number of observations have revealed that Notch even plays a role in the renewal of cancer stem cells and tumor initiating cells, which are thought to be a major cause of resistance to treatment. Targeting Notch in Cancer will provide researchers, oncologists, pharmacologists and students with a detailed understanding of the intricate cross-talk between Notch and other pathways of therapeutic interest so to better design rational drug combinations for specific diseases and disease subsets.Divided into two parts, Part I describes in detail what we know about the genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry andstructural biology of Notch, as well as the role of Notch in such processes as angiogenesis and immune surveillance. Without insights gained from these basic studies, rational targeting of Notch in human disease would be impossible. Part II describes the role of Notch and ongoing experimental therapeutic efforts in the most important subtypes of human cancers, organized in a clinically oriented fashion by organs and systems affected.…

About the Author
Dr. Miele is the Cancer Crusaders Professor of Cancer Research and Chair of the Department of Genetics, School of Medicine, at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, Louisiana. Dr. Miele completed his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees summa cum laude at the University of Naples, Italy, in 1982 and 1987 respectively. His Ph.D. dissertation work was conducted at the Max-Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, Berlin, Germany. After a postdoctoral fellowship and at the National Institutes of Health in the Human Genetics Branch, Section on Developmental Genetics, Dr. Miele started his independent research career in 1993 at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, U.S. Food and Drug Administration. There, he took on a project on the then recently discovered human NOTCH gene. His research has been focused on Notch signaling in cancer for the past 25 years, with a mechanistic and translational emphasis. In 1998, Dr. Miele moved to Loyola University's Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center, where he discovered the anti-apoptotic activity of Notch1 in leukemia cells. In 2001, Dr. Miele moved to the University of Illinois at Chicago, as Program Director in the Cancer Center and Associate Professor of Biopharmaceutical Sciences. At UIC, Dr. Miele determined that Notch1 is necessary for Ras-induced transformation of human cells and is expressed in breast cancer. In 2005, he returned to Loyola, as a Full Professor, Breast Cancer Program Director and eventually, Associate Cancer Center Director for Translational Sciences. There, he made the observation that endocrine therapy in breast cancer cells results in re-activation of Notch signaling, and simultaneous inhibition of Notch and estrogen signaling can eradicate estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer stem cells. This led to two successful clinical trials of endocrine therapy/gamma secretase inhibitor combinations. In 2009, Dr. Miele was named Director of the University of Mississippi Cancer Institute and Ergon Professor of Medicine. He held that post until his move to LSUHSC in 2014. His current work focuses on the role of Notch1 in regulating mitochondrial metabolism in triple-negative breast cancer, the role of Notch4 in endocrine-resistant estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, the role of Notch1 in anti-tumor CD8 T cell responses and the targeting of Notch ligand Jagged in cancer immunotherapy. Additionally, Dr. Miele’s group is exploring novel approaches to selective targeting of Notch in breast cancer. Dr. Miele has authored over 220 peer-reviewed publications in biomedical journals to date. He regularly chairs or serves on scientific grant review panels for NIH, NCI, NCATS, the DOD and research funding agencies from Canada, the UK, Spain, Italy, The Netherlands and Singapore. He serves as Editor or Associate Editor of a number of biomedical journals, and has consulted for several pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies regarding Notch-targeting strategies.
Dr. Artavanis-Tsakonas is a molecular biologist and developmental geneticist. He did his undergraduate studies at the ETH in Zurich and earned a MSc in Chemistry and has a PhD from Cambridge University, for work carried out at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. After his postdoctoral work at the Biozentrum in Basel and at Stanford University, he joined the Yale faculty in 1982. He rose to Professor at the Department of Biology and Professor at the Department of Cell Biology at the Yale School of Medicine and also served as the Director of the Biological Sciences Division at Yale. He was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator from 1987 to 1998 when he left for Harvard. In 1999 was elected Professor at the Collège de France, in Paris holding the Chair of Biology and Genetics of Development until 2012 when he became Professeur honoraire. He is the Founding Director of the Department of Genetics and Developmental Biology at Institute Curie, Paris, 2007-2009.
In 1998 he joined the Cell Biology Department at the Harvard Medical School where he is now Professor Emeritus and from1999-2007 was also the Isselbacher-Schwartz Professor, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center. From 2012 to March 2017 he was the Chief Scientific Officer for Biogen. He is the founding Director of the Developmental and Regenerative Biology Program at Harvard Medical School.
His laboratory has been, for many years, utilizing model organisms to define critical targets and pathways important in development and disease and pioneered the use of genetic and molecular approaches to define and analyze the Notch signaling pathway. Currently, at his Harvard Medical School laboratory, he is using genetic tools to dissect neurodegeneration pathways related to human disease and is completing work defining the Drosophila Proteome.
He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, an associate member of EMBO and a corresponding member of the Athens Academy. In addition to his academic credentials, Dr. Artavanis-Tsakonas is a co‑founder of Exelixis, Cellzome, and Anadys, and is the president and co-founder of the philanthropic organization Fondation Santé.

I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
