When cell injury is too extensive to permit reparative
responses, acute cellular necrosis or apoptosis can result.
Understanding injury at the subcellular organelle and molecular
levels is essential for development of new therapeutic strategies
and for optimal management of injured victims.
In this volume, various modes of injury that can occur are
described, as well as the basic molecular healing responses and
pathways of metabolic survival or death. The approach taken here is
to look at these processes at the cellular and subcellular levels,
rather than at the tissue level, and this volume will be a valuable
resource to anyone interested in wound healing, biological stress
responses, molecular chaperones, radiobiology, biomechanics, and
biomedical engineering, as well as trauma and critical care
medicine.
