{"product_id":"9781483273259","title":"Recent Progress of Life Science Technology in Japan","description":"Recent Progress of Life Science Technology in Japan discusses developments in cancer research technologies in Japan. In June 1983 an intra-cabinet panel of the Japanese Government drafted a 10-year strategy for cancer control, recognizing the importance of this field of research. A scientific research group was organized to comprise two sections—the first concerning the development and evaluation of DNA technologies, and the second on protein-related technologies. \u003cbr\u003eIn the promotion of fundamental cancer research, the development and refinement of basic technologies for each component of the \"\"triangle of bio-sciences\"\"—DNA, protein, and antibody—are essential, particularly in the elucidation of tumor-inducing and tumor-suppressing genes, tumor-specific antigens, and so forth. Part I of the book details the achievements of the first group in developing automated instrumentations for DNA sequencing. The second scientific research group worked on three major subareas: (1) gene transfer and expression technologies; (2) technologies for extraction, purification, and structural analysis of cancer-related proteins; and (3) technologies for analysis and synthesis of saccharide chains. Reports from these areas are respectively grouped in Part II, Part III, and Part IV of this monograph.","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142041878768,"sku":"9781483273259","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483273259_p0.jpg?v=1763626861","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483273259","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
