International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology

by Lorenzo Galluzzi

Overview

International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, Volume 350, covers all aspects of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) biology. With its multiple cellular functions, including ion storage as well protein folding, trafficking and secretion, the regulation of homeostasis within the ER is crucial to organismal health. New sections in this updated volume include DAMP emission upon ER stress, Protein misfolding disordersm Type I interferon response and ER stress, ER and autophagosome biogenesis, Mitochondria-associated membranes, ER calcium signaling in excitable cells, and ER in viral infections.

About the Author

Lorenzo Galluzzi is Assistant Professor of Cell Biology in Radiation Oncology at the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Weill Cornell Medical College, Honorary Assistant Professor Adjunct with the Department of Dermatology of the Yale School of Medicine, Honorary Associate Professor with the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Paris, and Faculty Member with the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Biotechnology of the University of Ferrara, the Graduate School of Pharmacological Sciences of the University of Padova, and the Graduate School of Network Oncology and Precision Medicine of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. Moreover, he is Associate Director of the European Academy for Tumor Immunology and Founding Member of the European Research Institute for Integrated Cellular Pathology.

Galluzzi is best known for major experimental and conceptual contributions to the fields of cell death, autophagy, tumor metabolism and tumor immunology. He has published over 450 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and is the Editor-in-Chief of four journals:
OncoImmunology (which he co-founded in 2011), International Review of Cell and Molecular Biology, Methods in Cell biology, and Molecular and Cellular Oncology (which he co-founded in 2013). Additionally, he serves as Founding Editor for Microbial Cell and Cell Stress, and Associate Editor for Cell Death and Disease, Pharmacological Research and iScience.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

As a go-to source for those interested in or studying molecular biology, this comprehensive book looks at future research in cell and molecular biology, including timely articles that address the structure and control of gene expression, nucleocytoplasmic interactions, control of cell development and differentiation, and cell transformation and growth

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Omer Iqbal, MD, FACC, FESC (Loyola University Medical Center)
Description: This book compiles comprehensive reviews of cell and molecular biology both in plants and animals. The articles present the structure and control of gene expression, nucleocytoplasmic interactions, control of cell development and differentiation, and cell transformation and growth.
Purpose: As there is no preface, it seems that the author's objective is to present comprehensive reviews in cell and molecular biology authored by recognized scientists in the field for students interested in these areas.
Audience: In my opinion, the book is written for students and scientists interested in the fields of cell and molecular biology, and it does meet the needs of this audience.
Features: The seven chapters deal with topics such as karyosphere, organoids for modeling genetic diseases, lipid droplets as organelles, apoptosis and cancer, crosstalk of autophagy and the secretory pathways and its role in disease, and finally intracellular pressure. There are several interesting illustrations in color and black and white. The chapters are clearly written.
Assessment: This is an excellent resource for students and scientists that provides up-to-date information on different aspects of cell and molecular biology with a good number of illustrations.
