Apoptosis and Cancer: Methods and Protocols

edited by Gil Mor, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences, and Ayesha B. Alvero, M.D., associate research scientist in obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences (Humana Press) This book, a collaboration between academics and industry-based scientists, describes the performance of contemporary techniques for studying the biology of apoptosis and its role in cancer. The protocols described within will aid both academic laboratory workers interested in further characterizing the mechanism of apoptosis and industry-based researchers concerned with identifying new target molecules or screening for new compounds with potential clinical use. The text covers the newest methods as well as basic conventional techniques.
