This detailed volume explores laboratory protocols and methodologies for studying cell cultures, genetic analysis, and various biochemical assays. The chapters within this book cover a wide range of techniques, from basic cell culture methods to more specialized assays used in the study of genotoxicity, apoptosis, and gene expression, not only relevant to academic researchers but also to professionals in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, and clinical fields. Written for the Springer Protocols Handbooks series, each protocol has been carefully compiled to provide step-by-step instructions, ensuring clarity and reproducibility.
Authoritative and practical, Advanced Cell and Molecular Techniques: Protocols for In Vitro and In Vivo Studies serves as both a hands-on guide and a source of inspiration for future research as the fields of molecular biology and toxicology continue to evolve.
