Hematopoietic Stem Cell Protocols

With new technologies emerging and old technologies being reimagined, the field of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) research continues to grow rapidly in pursuit of improved therapies for many blood diseases. A team of researchers supply this volume with in-depth, readily reproducible methods for effective characterization of HSC and their developmental potential. An introductory chapter also hints at potential techniques that may develop in the future. Each protocol offers step-by-step laboratory instructions, lists of the necessary equipment, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
