Ciba Foundation Symposium 150 ‐ Proto‐Oncogenes in Cell Development: Proto‐Oncogenes in Cell Development: Ciba Foundation Symposium 150

Presented here are the most up-to-date research findings of leading international scientists in the field of aging. The collected data explores the biological, medical, and chemical implications and the latest thinking on the role of proto-oncogenes and their relationship to cell development and deterioration in amphibians, the role of the eukaryotic cell cycle, and the role of proto-oncogenes in differentiation and development.
