Haemopoiesis: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series)

A detailed guide to the most important methods in use in this area today, this volume will be of interest to hematologists and researchers in many areas of basic and medical research. The cells and regulators involved in hemopoiesis are well characterized, providing biochemists and cell and molecular biologists with an exciting system in which to study normal and abnormal growth and differentiation. Rapid progress has also been made in the application of research techniques to human cells, giving rise to new therapeutic approaches to diseases such as leukemia. The collaborative effort of experts from leading research centers in the field, this work is a detailed guide to the most important methods in use in this area today, from cell culture to in vivo assays.
