Glioblastoma: Methods and Protocols

by Dimitris G. Placantonakis (Editor)

Overview

This volume details cutting-edge prools on the characterization of the genome, epigenome, proteome, metabolome and single-cell transcriptome of tumors and tumor-derived cultures. Chapters focus on subpopulations of cells with stem-like properties, laser capture microdissection, and modeling human glioma with human embryonic stem cells. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Glioblastoma: Methods and Prools aims to support researchers seeking new and refined prools to better decrypt this tumor.
