Schwann Cells Methods and Protocols
Schwann Cells Methods and Protocols by Paula V. Monje, published by Springer New York on March 16, 2018, is a comprehensive resource that presents a variety of experimental procedures pertinent to Schwann cell research. This edition spans 488 pages and is written in English, offering a structured approach to both traditional and emerging methodologies in the field of cell biology.
Readers will find detailed protocols organized into four parts, covering in vitro culture, purification, and characterization of primary Schwann cells from various species and developmental stages. The book also includes methodologies for studying Schwann cells in both in vitro and in vivo systems, addressing topics such as peripheral nerve development, cancer, and myelination. Additionally, it provides protocols for the production, collection, labeling, and transplantation of Schwann cells in experimental settings, making it a valuable tool for both seasoned researchers and newcomers in the life sciences.
Official synopsis Publisher
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 protocols for in vitro culture, purification, and characterization of primary Schwann cells from diverse species and stages of nerve development. It also contains protocols to create cancer cell lines and engineered Schwann cells from unconventional sources via chemical conversion, induced differentiation or genetic intervention. Parts II and III outline a wide range of methodologies used to study Schwann cells within in vitro and in vivo systems relevant to the analysis of peripheral nerve development, cancer, axon degeneration/regeneration, and myelination. Last but not least, part IV outlines protocols for Schwann cell production, collection, labeling and transplantation in the injured peripheral nerve and spinal cord of experimental animals and human subjects.
Authoritative and practical, Schwann Cells: Methods and Protocols aims to aid both experienced and new investigators to make progress in their research endeavors involving Schwann cells.
