Full Description
This volume details protocols in Adipogensis research, such as stem cell line isolation, gene expression, obesity research, and drug development. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, the chapters include brief introductions to the material, lists of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and a Notes section which highlights tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, Adipogenesis: Methods and Protocols aims to be comprehensive guide for researchers in the field.
