Stress Response is a specialized book that addresses the complex mechanisms that enable mammalian cells to respond to various potentially harmful environmental factors. These stress responses are crucial for the survival of the cells and can be associated with an increased ability to tolerate normally harmful influences. The book highlights the close connection between the stress response and numerous human diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ischemia, fever, infections, and cancer. Stress Response: Methods and Protocols offers a comprehensive collection of practical methods that can be used to study the reactions of mammalian cells to environmental stress. The protocols are described in detail and come from authors who have successfully applied these techniques. The book includes both established methods and innovative technologies at the forefront of research.
