For over 35 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, an...

This Handbook is special, as it presents a global appreciation of endocrinology, describing clinical pathways and medications which are primarily based on, and used in, the European experience, while where possible also medical therapy in countries with limited medical resources is addressed. It is remarkable how much has changed since the first publication in 2002, as well as since the third edition in 2014. New genetic and metabolic mechanisms of disease, new and improved imaging techni...

authors to bring new skills and knowledge into this edition. Clinical pharmacy has undergone rapid development during the lifetime of this little book. In the UK, a hospital pharmacy without clinical services now seems strange but the battle to establish clinical pharmacy is still not won in parts of Europe, particularly in Eastern Europe.

The clear and up-to-date content of this text reflects the experience of the authors, and I am personally delighted to provide a foreword to a book which will undoubtedly help support the growing number of trainees working in the field of acute medicine.

Dendritic cells are fascinating cells but can be challenging to work with. In this new edition of Dendritic Cell Protocols, we aimed at complementing the previous edition in order to provide both beginners and more experienced researchers a choice of methods to isolate and analyze dendritic cells. An introductory review provides an overview of recent advances in the characterization of DC subsets in mouse and human

Our first edition of Cell Viability Assays for the MiMB series in 2017, with its described variety of assays, proved to be quite a success regarding its impact in the community. When the publisher approached us to consider an updated second edition in 2021, the first edition had already been accessed over 100,000 times. For this updated edition, we therefore aimed to not only update and include new assays but also to account for the ongoing 2D-3D development and planned for topics and assay...

With a distinctly clinical approach, and based on the authors’ extensive experience in the feld of pediatric and congenital ec...
