This volume provides up-to-date methods on single cell wet and bioinformatics protocols based on the researcher experiment requirements. Chapters detail basic analytical procedures, single-cell data QC, dimensionality reduction, clustering, cluster-specific features selection, RNA velocity, multi-modal data integration, and single cell RNA editing. 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 comprehensive, Single Cell Transcriptomics: Methods and Protocols aims to be a valuable resource for all researchers interested in learning more about this important and developing field.

This book reviews the natural course of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) disease and the active treatment modalities. These are compared with surgical and neuropsychological results achieved at the Military University Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic. Based on these comparisons, treatment recommendation for AVM is articulated. Furthermore, the long-term efficacy of different treatment is discussed. This book is written by an international group of European authors, and is aimed at neurovascular surgeons and neurosurgical residents.
