Neural Crest Cells - Hisayoshi Yoshizaki

This volume provides a practical, comprehensive guide to studying neural crest cells in a variety of model organisms and research modalities. Chapters guide readers through basic concepts and core protocols, in vivo imaging and model organisms, molecular, cellular, bioinformatics analyses, and disease models and translational applications. 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 and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips for troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and practical, Neural Crest Cells aims to be a versatile resource for exploring every facet of neural crest cell research-from the basics of isolating and labeling these cells to high-end imaging techniques, functional assays, and the latest omics-based analyses.
