Apoptosis and Cancer: Methods and Protocols

The aim of this book is to describe the performance of contemporary techniques for studying the biology of apoptosis and its role in cancer. The protocols described will aid both the academic laboratory interested in further characterizing the mechanisms of apoptosis, as well as the industry laboratory, aimed at identifying new target molecules or screening for new compounds with potential clinical use. Tricks of the trade and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls are included. The book is aimed at cancer researchers, molecular and cellular biologists, and biochemists.
