Opis

Continuing the research of the best-selling first edition, Patch-Clamp Analysis: Advanced Techniques, Second Edition collects three more years of research in the ever-expanding study of the cell membrane. With the latest developments in the traditional patch techniques such as whole-cell and single channel as well as perforated patch, fast drug application, loose patch and macropatch techniques, this authoritative second edition updates the standard techniques while introducing three brand new, cutting-edge technical advances in the field. Thorough and timely, Patch-Clamp Analysis: Advanced Techniques, Second Edition is an invaluable resource for neuroscientists attempting to discover and understand the long-hidden complexities of the cell."

Recenzje

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This book, edited by an outstanding expert in biophysics, and written by a large number of well-recognized contributors, is a complete text on this most important technique. ... this excellent neuroscience book brings discussion of this most important technique up-to-date and discusses the current and future prospects in this field. ... Patch clamp testing is becoming increasingly important in medical research. For this reason, this book can be highly recommended to medical-biological investigators." (Julian L. Ambrus and Clara M. Ambrus, The Journal of Medicine, February, 2008)
