About this book
Diverse molecular, cellular, and environmental events must all come together to allow the successful formation of secondary cancers, metastases. The second edition of Metastasis Research Protocols, brings together the most up to date versions of the seminal techniques that were presented in the first edition and also includes new techniques that have recently been shown to be important in illuminating the processes underlying this important area of biology. Presented by top scientists, the collection includes a wide spectrum of articles encompassing important key methods and to introduce new methods which are making an impact in the area of metastasis research. Volume 1 includes key cellular and molecular techniques relevant to the exploration of cancer cells and tissues, the focus is on the tools that have been shown to be helpful in unravelling the molecular processes important in cancer metastasis. 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 protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Metastasis Research Protocols, Second Edition seeks to aid scientists in the further study of new methods in the area of metastasis research.
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This second edition … describes cellular and molecular techniques used to study cancer metastasis. … It is written for any researchers interested in cellular and molecular techniques relevant to cancer cells and tissue. … This is a great addition to any laboratory studying cancer metastasis. … I plan to have all my new lab members read through this book. Even those already working for years in the lab can learn new tips and techniques.” (Jennifer E. Koblinski, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2013)Editors and Affiliations
