Molecular and Cellular Changes in the Cancer Cell,the latest volume in the Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science series, includes a comprehensive summary of the evidence accumulated thus far on the molecular and cellular regulation of the various adaptations taking place in response to exercise.

This volume examines some of the latest advances, highlighting some of the most important molecular and cellular alterations and environmental influences that collectively cause a normal cell to become cancerous. Special emphasis is given to changes that take place at the molecular and cellular level.

Pruitt, Kevin
Kevin Pruitt received a BS degree in Chemical Engineering from University of Texas at Austin followed by post-baccalaureate research training in the biological sciences at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He then moved on to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, for doctoral studies in Pharmacology in 2001 followed by postdoctoral training at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Dr. Pruitt has received numerous research awards during his career, serves as a member of National Cancer Institute study sections, and directs a vibrant research program where graduate students and postdoctoral trainees contribute to the discovery process in basic and translational cancer research. He joined the Physiology Department as an assistant professor at LSUHSC in Shreveport, Louisiana in 2006. He was then recruited to the Department of Immunology & Molecular Microbiology at TTUHSC in Lubbock, Texas in 2014 where his group continues to focus on identifying novel factors that contribute to colon and breast tumor progression.
