The molecular era ushered in the cloning of the growth hormone (GH) gene and the production of unlimited amounts of GH through recombinant technology.

Cell cycle checkpoints control the fidelity and orderly progression of eukaryotic cell division. This title provides detailed descriptions of methodologies employed by researchers in the field, including those commonly used in the mammalian, yeast, C elegans, Drosophila, and Xenopus model systems.

Professionals from an enormous range of sectors have dealings with the criminal justice system. For every one of these, from firefighters to public sector engineers, this book explains the system itself, its evidential standards, and its documentary needs.

Human Embryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells presents a comprehensive collection of protocols developed by leading scientists in the field. It contains practical laboratory guidance to promote successful results.

This Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) book shows how PARP proteins act in normal and pathogenic development of organisms, advances knowledge of developmental pathways regulation, and furthers development of new drugs and methods to target PARP-dependent processes.

This volume in the popular Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) series offers an up-to-date collection of methods and approaches for investigating microtubule dynamics in vitro and in cells. Includes material lists, step-by-step protocols and troubleshooting tips.

Juvenile homicide and fatal maltreatment remain serious and pervasive problems in the developed world and especially in the United States, where in 2005 some 1,500 children died from neglect and physical abuse.

Androgen Action provides a tool box to study various phases of androgen action, from its entry to the cell, to the phenotypic response that the cell mounts. The text includes up-to-date techniques for biochemists, molecular biologists, cell biologists, geneticists, and pathologists.

Cancer Stem Cells in Solid Tumors represents a detailed overview of cancer stem cells and their role in solid cancers. Comprised of 24 chapters, this volume provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of this important and evolving field.

This sixth volume of reviews in forensic pathology provides professionals working in the field with cutting-edge material on the latest key advances in the fields of traumatic death, sudden natural death and death time estimation.

Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology (TM) series format, In Vivo NMR Imaging: Methods and Protocols aims to be an experimental compendium of modern in vivo MR imaging with special focus on recent developments in molecular imaging and new protocols for imaging metabolism and molecular markers.

Research into the field of stem cell biology has developed exponentially over recent years, and is beginning to offer significant promise for unravelling the molecular basis of a multitude of disease states.

Divided into six thematic sections, this volume covers methods for characterizing genomes, diverse approaches to enrich DNA for subsets of the genome prior to sequencing, and state-of-the-art protocols for sampling genetic variation for genetic mapping studies and population genetic studies (RAD sequencing, Sequenom, microarrays, etc.).

Understanding the humble seed is a vital goal in molecular biology. This volume, which includes key notes and implementation advice from leading researchers, covers all the latest methods and protocols, including some that have led to major advances.

It is increasingly clear that signal transduction is a highly organized and integrated process. Divided into two convenient sections, this book focuses on experimental approaches to better understand the complexity of signal transduction.

Laser microdissection techniques have revolutionized the ability of researchers in general, and pathologists in particular, to carry out molecular analysis on specific types of normal and diseased cells and to fully utilize the power of current molecular technologies including PCR, microarrays, and proteomics.

Vertebrate Embryogenesis: Embryological, Cellular and Genetic Methods attempts to address the increasingly important need of straddling species boundaries in the context of a single research program by compiling research protocols used in a wide range of vertebrate species.

This volume provides a collection of robust protocols for molecular biologists studying comparative genomics. Given the tremendous increase in available biosequence data over the past ten years, this volume is timely, comprehensive, and novel. The volume is intended for molecular biologists, biochemists and geneticists.

This book presents both cutting-edge and established methods for studying cardiac gene expression. The protocols provide a template for solid research, and cover the process through screening, analysis, characterization, and functional confirmation of novel genes or known genes with a new function.

With the dramatic growth in our knowledge of hormone action and the mechanisms of cell regulation, the need for an up-to-date broad-ranging survey of these processes has become pressing.

Continued refinement of wide-spread access to transgenic technology has allowed for new animal models have been developed that exhibit features of autoimmune disease have been developed that exhibit features of autoimmune disease.

Part VIII probes psychosocial and cultural factors affecting judgment and decisions about translational stem cell research, and Part IX explores problems and procedures raised by an examination of the evaluation of stem cell research projects in research ethics committees.

Rather than an exhaustive review of all the pathologic conditions of the female breast, Breast Cancer and its Precursor Lesions focuses on the current knowledge, understanding and issues related to breast cancer and its benign lesions that are associated with an increased risk for the subsequent development of cancer.

Cellular therapy using human hepatocytes is being evaluated worldwide as an alternative to organ transplantation. Here, international experts provide up-to-date techniques covering the many key areas necessary for successful transplantation.

The authors explain the physiological changes associated with the normal aging process that may lead to the development of disease, to adverse consequences once disease develops, and which alter the risk-benefit equation for medical and other interventions designed to diagnose, assess, and treat cardiovascular disease.

The immediacy of individual genomes also serves to highlight our relative ignorance of human genetic variation, underlining the need for more studies of the nature and impact of genetic variation on human phenotypes.

This volume presents an overview of the methods commonly used to study Mucins. These include the best approaches to analysing each specific area of mucin biochemistry, physiology and biophysics, in addition to detailed experimental protocols together with troubleshooting and interpretation tips.

These include methods and technique for using different organisms for cardiovascular developmental research, using cell and molecular biology methods to study cardiovascular development, as well as other available techniques for cardiovascular development research.
