More About This Textbook
Overview
Because neurons and glia in culture are remarkably similar to those in situ, culture systems make it possible to identify significant cell interactions and to elucidate their mechanisms. This book is in many ways a do-it-yourself manual for culturing nerve cells, complete with recipes and protocols. But it also provides an understanding of the principles behind the protocols. In effect the contributors invite you into their labs and provide much of the information you would obtain from such a visit.The authors of the introductory chapters present the nuts-and-bolts principles of growing nerve cells. The authors of the following chapters discuss the culturing of specific cell types. They explain how their experimental goals have shaped their particular cell culture approach and the advantages and disadvantages of the cell culture systems they have developed. They provide detailed protocols and describe their cultures in practical terms,from when the cells are first plated through the various phases of their development.Contributors : Janet Alder, Hannelore Asmussen, Gerard Bain, Gary Banker, Robert W.

Editorial Reviews
Booknews
Robinson (history, U. of Southern California) details the moderate and the radical factions of the Korean nationalism movement, the controversies within and between the two groups, and the general direction of the movement during the period. He focuses on the rise of the moderate group and analyzes the origins and elaboration of its ideology as well as its major programs: the Korean Production, University, and Language movements. Inaugurating a new series, this lucid (and surprisingly lively) manual describes complete recipes and protocols for biological scientists, particularly neurobiologists, who want to learn how to grow neurons in culture. Following introductory chapters that essentially comprise a brief course on the basics of culturing all types of nerve cells, some 20 experts describe the culture systems that they have developed, including the details of each protocol as well as non-standard tricks and troubleshooting techniques.
