Cancer Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways 1st Edition

Cancer Stem Cells and Signaling Pathways, 1st Edition by Surajit Pathak and Antara Banerjee is a definitive, contemporary guide for researchers, clinicians, and advanced students exploring the molecular drivers of tumor initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance. This authoritative volume distills complex biology into a clear, actionable roadmap—bridging basic science with translational and clinical perspectives.

Begin with a compelling overview of the cancer stem cell concept and its clinical relevance, then move through in-depth chapters on key signaling cascades—Wnt, Notch, Hedgehog, PI3K/AKT, JAK/STAT—and their cross-talk with the tumor microenvironment. Detailed discussions cover stemness markers, epigenetic regulation, metabolic reprogramming, immune evasion, and mechanisms underlying therapy resistance. Emphasis on experimental approaches, biomarker discovery, and strategies for targeted intervention equips readers to translate insights into research design and clinical trials.

Written by experienced investigators, this edition balances rigorous science with practical clarity—ideal for oncologists, molecular biologists, pharmacologists, and graduate researchers seeking current perspectives in cancer biology. Global in scope and relevance, it addresses the challenges faced by the international oncology community and highlights emerging therapeutic avenues.

Whether building a professional library or sourcing a graduate-level text, this book delivers essential knowledge on cancer stem cells and signaling pathways. Add this foundational volume to your collection to stay at the forefront of tumor biology, targeted therapy development, and translational medicine.
