Sommario/riassunto

This book deals with the emerging role of various DNA repair proteins and the regulatory elements which are implicated in cancer therapy such as DNA cross-linking agents, radiotherapy and bleomycin.  The



DNA repair genes discussed include those involved in BRCA/Rad51-related homologous recombinational repair, DNA-PK related nonhomologous endjoining and the nucleotide excision repair gene, ERCC1.  Moreover, the role of regulatory genes such as PARP, ATR, telomerase, growth factor receptors and downstream kinase signalling  is examined.

Sommario/riassunto

By traveling to different parts of the world, this book provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the current state of adolescent education and demonstrates how education systems are formed by and closely tied to culture. After establishing a theoretical background, the book delves into the particulars of adolescent education and its associated challenges in six countries (India, Kenya, Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Denmark). In tandem with the discussion of institutions, the stories of those who are all too often underserved or left behind are told. Despite the diversity of each education system, the investigation reveals several unifying themes that transcend the specific contexts. The lessons from each example are woven together to demonstrate how the individualized needs of students can best be met, in a vision for the future of educating adolescents.".
