The authors emphasize that ion transport proteins, channels, and transporters, collectively known as the transportome, play a crucial role in the development and progression of cancer. Epithelial cells, which make up nearly 90% of malignant tumor diseases, rely heavily on the transportome for their function. This volume focuses on molecular principles by demonstrating that dysregulated expression and\/or function of ion transporters are associated with malignancy in the vast majority of tumor diseases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWithin the narrative of the various chapters, the authors outline various malfunctions of the transportome and their locations at different stages of the metastatic cascade. They describe how interactions between the tumor cells transportome and the environment reinforce mesenchymal behavior of cancer cells, contributing to their uncontrolled proliferation, migration, invasion, intra- and extravasation, and ultimately the formation of metastases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of a three-volume collection, this book will captivate members of the active research community, as well as clinicians specializing in cancer care. It provides a deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer progression and offers valuable insights into potential therapeutic targets and strategies for cancer treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 302g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 155 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030998028\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44307638419706,"sku":"9783030998028","price":99.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_0324229d-7f8e-40a7-b873-3b22f50cad0d.jpg?v=1688110804","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/from-malignant-transformation-to-metastasis-ion-transport-in-tumor-biology-9783030998028","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
