Book Description
This detailed volume; Cancer Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols (PDF) gathers a comprehensive collection of protocols; methods; and procedures used for the characterization; identification; and selection of cancer stem cells. These include surface marker expression; side population; spheres formation; ALDH activity; and numerous others. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series; chapters include introductions to their respective topics; lists of the necessary materials and reagents; step-by-step; readily reproducible protocols; and expert tips and troubleshooting advice to avoid potential pitfalls.
Very practical and comprehensive; Cancer Stem Cells: Methods and Protocols provides researchers with the techniques they will need in order to pursue vital research into this complex field of study.
