Cellular Growth

Synopsis: What makes cell growth go wrong? Dr Mike Waterfield, Director of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in London, has been interested in the epidermal growth factor/receptor system and his research team has been able to make monoclonal antibodies to the EGF receptor which has allowed researchers to follow the fate of the receptor. Leukaemia and the genetic mechanisms form the other subject of the programme.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
