✦ Synopsis

This volume provides a broad spectrum of research models, techniques, and protocols. Chapters are divided into sections providing detailed information on the background and context for the chosen topic of interest, a list of the necessary materials and reagents needed for each topic, as well as the step-by-step laboratory protocols and methodologies for the successful and reproducible execution of each topic. 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 practical, Inflammation and Cancer: Methods and Protocols aims to provide information to students and researchers at all levels of experience for further study into this vital field.
