From Book News, Inc.
Experts from academic, clinical, and pharmaceutical laboratories describe the most frequently used cellular, molecular, and electrophysiological methods to isolate, characterize, and utilize neural stem cells. These techniques introduce the various sources of stem/progenitor cells, provide a range of conditions for their culture, and make it possible to define their properties in culture. Additional techniques are designed to help researcher identify endogenous and exogenous stem cells after transplantation in the brain. Protocols range from simple methods of isolation and characterization of neural cell properties to sophisticated methods involving characterization of gene expression.
