Updating and building upon previous editions Hematopoietic Stem Cell Protocols Third Edition
provides up-to-date protocols from leading stem cell researchers. This in-depth volume presents
a clear view of the landscape of assays available to the stem cell researcher working in the
growing hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) field. A robust and active field it is supported by an
abundance of innovative mouse models and molecular tools for analysis of phenotypes and
functions in mouse and human cells. Understanding more about hematopoietic stem cell biology is
integral if these versatile cells are to be applied effectively to treat and cure a wide range
of blood diseases. An introductory chapter puts the major contributions of the book into the
proper perspective. Written in the 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 protocols and notes on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls. Essential for the laboratory-based researcher Hematopoietic Stem Cell
Protocols Third Edition is a much needed technical resource in the critically important field
of hematopoietic stem cell investigation.
