The migration of stem cells has been found to be critical during
early development for the organization of the embryonic body as
well as during adult life with tissue homeostasis and regeneration
of organ function. Due to the low frequency of these cells in vivo,
problems in identifying and prospectively purifying tissue specific
stem cells near homogeneity, and, most importantly, a lack of
adequate technologies and protocols to study stem cell migration in
vivo, this vital research has been quite difficult until recently.
In "Stem Cell Migration: Methods and Protocols," experts in the
field compile and highlight the standard and novel techniques that
allow the studying of the migration of stem cells in one succinct
manual. Including protocols on germ, neuronal, and hematopoietic
stem cells, during development and adulthood with a clear emphasis
on in vivo technologies, the volume also extends its coverage to in
vitro approaches toward several developmentally-conserved signaling
pathways. 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.
Practical and convenient, "Stem Cell Migration: Methods and
Protocols" provides key, state-of the art information on
experimental techniques for studying stem cell migration both at a
cellular and molecular level in development, regeneration, and
disease.
