Vascular Biology Protocols

Over the past decades, the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases have been benefited significantly from intensive research activities. In order to provide a comprehensive 'œmanual' in a field that has become as broad and deep as cardiovascular medicine, this volume of 'œMethods in Molecular Medicine' covers a wide spectrum of in vivo and in vitro techniques encompassing biochemical, pharmacological and molecular biology disciplines which are currently used to assess vascular disease progression. Each chapter included in this volume focuses on a specific vascular biology technique and describes various applications as well as caveats of these techniques. The protocols included here are described in detail, allowing beginners with little experience in the field of vascular biology to embark on new research projects.Vascular Biology Protocols, was published 2008 under ISBN 9781588295743 and ISBN 1588295745.
