Sommario/riassunto

In this volume distinguished scholars explore and apply the theoretical models of continuity and discontinuity to their research in adult development. The chapters address the different ways in which continuity is affected by change over the life course, as well as how individuals negotiate and maintain crucial continuities by adaptive change. Topics include adult life crises, illness, sibling relationships, and gender identity. Each chapter is followed by an insightful commentary. This book is a tribute to Bernice L. Neugarten for her contributions to the field of adult development, which inc

Sommario/riassunto

Various KLK proteins and their encoding genes have attracted increased attention among scientists and clinicians worldwide since they represent very interesting and functionally distinct biomarkers, particularly, in cancer. This book reviews the role of kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) in a wide range of cancers, including lung, prostate, breast and ovarian cancer. It provides clinicians, physician scientists and researchers with a comprehensive overview on the clinical relevance of KLK expression in various malignancies.
