| Summary |
This third edition provides updated and new chapters on recent innovations in basic renal research. Chapters are divided into three sections covering in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo models of kidney disease, recent advances in imaging techniques and protocols for performing analytical and functional measurements in the kidney; techniques that are both topical and of widespread relevance to the study of kidney biology and disease. 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 methods, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Kidney Research: Experimental Protocols, Third Edition aims to be comprehensive guide for researchers in the field |
