Mitochondria the Anti cancer Target for Third Millennium

This book will be focused on mitochondria as very promising targets for anti-cancer drugs, yet to be fully exploited. That the role of mitochondria in human pathologies goes beyond the neoplastic diseases will be documented by a chapter of the role of mitochondria in Friedreich's ataxia. Mitochondria: The anti-cancer target for the third millennium is a collection of up-to-date contributions investigating the role of these organelles in human pathology, in particular cancer. Written by experts in the area of mitochondrial research, this book covers topics ranging from the basic science of the role of mitochondria in cellular homeostasis to more focused topics on the interaction with drugs, emerging targets in pathology and platforms for the development of novel drugs. The book will appeal to researchers interested in the role of mitochondria in pathology and in the latest discoveries in this area of research. This book will be focused on mitochondria as very promising targets for anti-cancer drugs, yet to be fully exploited. It will contain chapters focused on aspects of basic research as well as on clinical relevance, which will be written by specialists in the field. That the role of mitochondria in human pathologies goes beyond the neoplastic diseases will be documented by a chapter of the role of mitochondria in Friedreich's ataxia.
