Translational toxicology and therapeutics : windows of developmental susceptibility in reproduction and cancer

Written by leading research scientists, this book integrates current knowledge of toxicology and human health through coverage of environmental toxicants, genetic / epigenetic mechanisms, and carcinogenicity. Provides information on lifestyle choices that can reduce cancer riskOffers a systematic approach to identify mutagenic, developmental and reproductive toxicantsHelps readers develop new animal models and tests to assess toxic impacts of mutation and cancer on human healthExplains specific cellular and molecular targets of known toxicants operating through genetic and epigenetic mechanisms
