Aging Methods And Protocols

The second edition of Biological Aging: Methods and Protocols expands upon the previous edition with current, detailed, useful and promising methods currently available to study aging. With new chapters on protocols that detail aging cell

This fully updated book collects protocols that reflect current investigations into how stem cell populations change during organismal aging. These methodologies are well-established and described in easy to follow fashion so as to be valuable for not only experts but novices in the ever-developing stem cell field. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology 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.

This volume addresses the latest state-of-the-art systems biology-oriented approaches that–driven by big data and bioinformatics–are utilized by Computational Systems Biology, an interdisciplinary field that bridges experimental tools with computational tools to tackle complex questions at the frontiers of knowledge in medicine and biotechnology.
