Transportome Malfunction in the Cancer Spectrum - Ion Transport in Tumor Biology

Ion Channels & Transporters in Tumor Biology: A Comprehensive Guide to the Transportome

This is the first of a three-volume collection, and it provides a deep dive into the function of ion transport proteins in cellular and systemic homeostasis. The authors highlight the role of the transportome, which is the entirety of ion transporters and ion channels, and its impact on the whole spectrum of cancer types.

Key Features

• Comprehensive Homeostasis: It discusses the function of ion transport proteins in both cellular and systemic homeostasis.
• Cancer-Specific Insights: It provides a better understanding of how dysregulated ion transport impacts different cancer types.
• Clinically Relevant: Recent studies have shown that the controlled expression of ion transport proteins can dramatically impact the life span of cancer patients.
• Future Outlook: The book offers a promising outlook for biomedical scientists, as members of the transportome could be the tumor markers of tomorrow for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
• Target Audience: This book will fascinate members of the active research community, as well as clinicians from the cancer field.
