The Cancer Degradome: Proteases and Cancer Biology

This book will aim to cover recent knowledge of the composition of the Degradome, how it can be studied using modern approaches such as transcriptomics and mass spectrometry; how gene knockout mice have improved our knowledge of the roles of proteases in cancer; how their activity can be imaged both in vitro and in vivo; the links that have emerged between proteolysis and cell signalling; how the degradome can be a useful source of diagnostic and prognostic markers; and finally new approaches to targeting proteolysis for therapy.
