Launches a series for both experienced scientists and young whippersnappers, providing in-depth treatments of high-impact areas in molecular and cellular biology. The topics will be based on selected important symposia, but not restricted to their scope or offerings. In the first volume 27 papers discuss the regulation of genes with antisense nucleotides, including sections on natural activities and mediators, ribozyme approaches, mechanisms and modifications, and control of viral and neoplastic proliferation.
