This volume looks at the study of oligodendrocytes through in vitro and in vivo techniques
multiple model organisms using approaches that bridge scales from molecular through system.
Chapters in this book cover topics such as fundamental molecular analyses of oligodendrocytes
and myelin in vitro ex vivo and in vivo molecular-cellular-electrophysiology-based
techniques oligodendrocyte formation homeostasis and disruption in zebrafish and Xenopus
and parallel system-level imaging of animal and human models. 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. Authoritative
and thorough Oligodendrocytes: Methods and Protocols is a valuable reference guide that
highlights the expansive and fast-paced nature of research into oligodendrocyte biology
underlying health and function.
