This volume looks at a collection of stem cell and regenerative techniques used by both novice and expert scientists. Chapters cover topics such as tissue repaired by expansion and reprogramming; induced pluripotent stem cells driven in neuronal or vascular differentiation; using mesenchymal stem cells to derive skeletal muscle, osteoblasts, and spermatogonial cells; and the technique of monitoring the development of sub-organ microenvironments in the developing pancreas. 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.Cutting-edge and thorough, Stem Cells and Tissue Repair: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable resource that provides readers with the latest descriptions and references for exploring this vast field in regenerative medicine.

This manual provides insights into the theory and practical aspects of several biotechnological and biochemical techniques for plants, protozoa, nematodes, insects and fishes, as well as human samples. The book also covers bioinformatics tools. The manual is an inclusive compilation, explaining techniques for microbial cultures, their diagnostics, DNA barcoding, microscopic techniques, blood analysis, parasite diagnostics through copro-antigens, enzyme analysis with enzyme kinetics, gene expression analysis, in-vivo protein visualization in live animals, geno-toxicity assays, quantification of micro RNAs and LncRNAs in tissue sections, the use of droplet PCR, and in-silico analysis. It provides step-by-step descriptions and details of each methodology, together with the final outcomes and inferences, in a simple and lucid manner, easily reproducible even for beginners. The broad range of techniques covered makes this volume extremely useful in understanding the principles of biotechniques, and simple applications for practical courses.

This book compiles the most comprehensive collection of protocols currently used in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal research. This experience-based collection includes methods for isolation, cultivation, detection, and quantification of AM fungi, as well as the use of metagenomics for community studies and experimental procedures for functional genomics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, 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, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal aid for researchers seeking to perform experiments that fill the gaps in our knowledge of the basic biology, functions, and ecology of AM fungi in the hope of deploying these powerful plant fungal symbiontsin agriculture more effectively.
