Schwann Cells: Methods and Protocols

This volume presents an assortment of traditional and emerging experimental procedures relevant to Schwann cell research. The chapters are divided into four parts. Part I contains prools for in vitro culture, purification, and characterization of primary Schwann cells from diverse species and stages of nerve development. It also contains prools to create cancer cell lines and engineered Schwann cells from unconventional sources via chemical conversion, induced differentiation or genetic int...
