Full Description
This second edition brings together a variety of method used in the field of cardiovascular development research. Chapters guide readers through protocols on lymphatic development, lymphatic staining techniques, lymphatic endothelial, tissue clearing techniques, and muscle cell isolation and culture. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls
Authoritative and practical, Cardiovascular Development: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition seeks to aid scientists in understanding new state-of-the-art techniques in the field of cardiovascular development research.
