Protein Kinases in Development and Disease

In this volume well known kinases are discussed and complemented with reviews about important, but often neglected kinases.

A good representation of current model organisms from plants, C. elegans to mice are used as the basis to illustrate how we can use our understanding of normal development to learn about disease.

• Kinases are fundamental regulators of most biological processes and thus have key roles in development of all organisms
• Consequently, aberrant regulation of kinases causes severe diseases
• Broad scope of topics addressed
• Allows researchers and newcomers to this research area to gain a thorough picture of the current knowledge
