This volume provides detailed protocols for the identification and understanding of vasculogenic mimicry process in vitro and in vivo, in addition to protocols for microscopy and histology. Chapters guide readers through different materials, commercial and homemade scaffolds, Matrigel, cancer spheroids, 3D tissue constructs, vasculogenic processes, and mathematical model building. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips...

This volume explores the latest techniques used to study neurodevelopmental diseases (NDD) that range from molecular aspects to integrated research approaches and brain imaging in living rodents. Chapters in this book cover topics such as protocols to deliver shRNA in vitro and in vivo using lentiviral particles to knock-down specific protein expression; experimental procedures to use recombinant fluorescent probes to visualize endogenous proteins at the mammalian synapse; CRISPR/Cas9 toolkit to assess either gain- or loss-of-gene function in brain organoids; detailed protocols to use in...

This book aims not only to introduce fundamental biostatistics topics but to explain them through R-project (R-studio). 'R' is perhaps the more used statistical software in the medical field. 

It is structured as a 'scientific journey' and comes with a sham yet realistic dataset ready to be analysed.  The dataset along with the R-script can be downloaded from GitHub, and each chapter has dedicated scripts that will enhance the understanding of  R and biostatistics. 

Specifically designed for whoever works in the medical-academic environment, this...

This book focuses on current and innovative technologies in perinatal medicine, specifically the period from the third trimester of pregnancy up to one month after birth. It follows the Second International Summer School on Technologies and Signal Processing in Perinatal Medicine (TSPPM 2021) and includes a number of the master lectures presented at the school. The book aims to provide an overview of current data processing and machine learning approaches, with clear indications and exhaustive presentations on research trends in the field, written by top scientists and researchers. It also...

This collection provides detailed information on current advances in analytical methods and strategies employed for monitoring and discovering a wide range of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) in clinical and forensic laboratories. The main classes of NPS in terms of prevalence include synthetic cannabinoids, synthetic cathinones, synthetic opioids, and designer or synthetic benzodiazepines, and this book explores selecting the appropriate sample matrix and analytical testing approaches for laboratories faced with NPS drug testing, such as in blood, urine, saliva, and hair. Written for...
