Methods in Molecular Biology: Methods and Protocols

Gershon, Timothy

This volume discusses the latest imaging and molecular techniques for studying microcephaly through neural progenitor proliferation, survival, and gene expression. All of the methods covered in this book use the mouse as a model system, and include cellular, metabolic, transcriptomic studies of neural progenitors, MR imaging studies of brain growth in 3-dimensions and developmentally-adapted studies of behavior in neonatal mice. 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 tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Microcephaly: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for all researchers who want to expand their knowledge and understanding of this important and developing field.
