Cancer Cell Culture: Method and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Medicine) |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
Thirty-two chapters by clinical researchers describe methods for growing cancer cells in the laboratory. There are methods to characterize and authenticate cell lines, to isolate and develop specific types of cancer cells, and to develop new cell line models. Functional assays are provided for the evaluation of clonogenicity, cell proliferation, apoptosis, adhesion, migration, invasion, senescence, angiogenesis, and cell cycle parameters. Other methods permit... >> |

The Biology of Death: Origins of Mortality |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
In language accessible to a lay audience, neurobiologists Klarsfeld (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Gif-sur-Yvette) and Revah, with a French biotechnology company, explore the subtleties of what the life sciences have to say about natural death. In so doing, they challenge some deeply embedded ideas: that death is inevitable and that it is undeniably beneficial to ongoing life. They suggest that just as views of the universe underwent profound up... >> |
