This detailed book collects new and updated techniques that will help to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying stem cell-derived repair through stem cells of the epidermal and dermal lineages, which have led to the isolation of numerous stem cell-like sub-populations from the epidermis and dermis. Written for the highly successful series, 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. Comprehensive and practical, serves as a valuable assemblage of protocols for researchers both already working in the field and those who now wish to newly embark on studies of skin stem cells.weiterlesen
