In Osteoporosis Second Edition expert investigators detail modern tools to enhance discovery
in bone and cartilage biology and promote translational research in osteoporosis and
osteoarthritis. New chapters describe methods to generate induced pluripotent stem cells
perform high-throughput chromatin analysis assess loads on bone cells in vivo and in vitro
use state-of-the art imaging techniques to measure articular cartilage thickness and
biochemical properties and establish animal models of osteoarthritis and bone healing. 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 key tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical Osteoporosis Second Edition shares
successful techniques that can be applied to the study of either disease.
