Blurb

This volume details methods and protocols covering multiple aspects of Medulloblastoma. Divided into four parts, chapters guide readers through nucleic acids detection and analysis, cell-based analysis methodologies, and applications of patient-information on designing better experimental strategies for future drug development efforts in Medulloblastoma. 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.

 

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Medulloblastoma: Methods and Protocols aims to deliver a clear-cut and standardized set of protocols to a broad scientific community.
