Cancer Cell Signaling: Methods and Protocols brings together all the major methods of cell research that are scientifically grounded within the cancer biology field. Presented in step-by-step detail to ensure successful results, the methods include proven techniques for the investigation of apoptosis and cell death, complementary protocols for manipulating and/or monitoring oncogenic signals in cancer cells, and techniques for studying protein-protein interactions. Finally, there is a detailed protocol for capturing pure samples of malignant cells from frozen tissue specimens and two alternative techniques for analyzing their genomic DNA. Each method is described by a hands-on master of the technique and includes invaluable notes on troubleshooting and pitfalls to avoid. Cutting-edge and highly practical, Cancer Cell Signaling: Methods and Protocols provides today's cancer researchers with new, but well-proven, strategies and procedures for investigating how the signaling cascades essential to normal cell life are corrupted, as well as for developing new molecular tools for cancer therapy Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Cancer cells -- Laboratory manuals Cellular signal transduction -- Laboratory manuals Cancer -- Genetic aspects -- Laboratory manuals Cancer cells -- Regulation -- Laboratory manuals Neoplasms -- physiopathology Neoplasms -- genetics Signal Transduction -- physiology MEDICAL -- Oncology.
