Molecular Theories Of Cell Life

By Sungchul Ji

How does life in the cell end and death begin? This volume brings together theoretical and experimental approaches to understanding the molecular processes underlying cell life and death. The international group of distinguished contributors in cell biology, biophysics, toxicology, chemistry, physics, and medical research includes two Nobel Laureates, Ilya Prigogine (Chemistry 1977) and P. W. Anderson (Physics, 1977). In a long opening chapter, the editor, Sungchul Ji, proposes a new model of the living cell; the model considers the flow of both energy and information as it is applied to the fundamental molecular mechanisms of chemical cell injuries and death, gene expression, chemical carcinogenesis, morphogenesis, and brain function.
