Humana Sertoli Cells: Methods and Protocols: 1748 (Methods in Molecular Biology, 1748)

Product Description This detailed volume explores the use of Sertoli cells as models in male reproductive biology or as supporters for other cell types, and it answers the need for standardized protocols for their in vitro culture. Prepared for non-specialists as well as experienced researchers that may be interested in a multidisciplinary approach to study these cells, the book examines these remarkable cells that present some unique features that go far beyond the physical and nutritional support of spermatogenesis. 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.  Authoritative and practical, Sertoli Cells: Methods and Protocols serves as a valuable resource for experienced researchers in reproductive biology, particularly andrologists, but also for future investigators and young students starting to study these extraordinary cells. Review “The pictures illustrating the book are all of high quality and the readers will be satisfied and certainly not disappointed while running through the chapters: exactly in the same manner you cannot stop of eating chapters or cherries, one is calling the other!” (CarloAlberto Redi, European Journal of Histochemistry, Vol. 63 (01), 2019) From the Back Cover This detailed volume explores the use of Sertoli cells as models in male reproductive biology or as supporters for other cell types, and it answers the need for standardized protocols for their in vitro culture.
