Odontogenesis: Methods and Protocols

by Petros Papagerakis (Editor)

Overview

This volume provides methods and approaches to study genetic and environmental regulatory controls on odontogenesis. Chapters guide readers through prools for isolation and characterization of both epithelial and mesenchymal dental cells, methods on isolation, phenotypic characterization, expansion, differentiation, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, immunohishemistry, imaging prools, rodent dental fluorosis model, 3D assessment of crown size, dental diseases models, next generation sequencing, genetic and epigenetic studies, genome-wide association studies as well as clinical prools for measurement of early childhood caries and saliva, and supragingival fluids and biofilm collection and subsequent analyses. 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, Odontogenesis: Methods and Prools aims to guide researchers towards elucidating the secrets and mysteries of a fascinating and unique organ, the tooth.
