PARP Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy

PARP Inhibitors for Cancer Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of the role of PARP-poly ADP ribose polymerase-in cancer therapy. The volume covers the history of the discovery of PARP and its role in DNA repair. Additionally, it describes the discovery of the PARP family, and includes a discus...
