Book excerpt: "Discoveries in the past 2-3 years have highlighted the importance of cell death in numerous physiological and pathological mechanisms, making the study of this process one of the hottest topics in the biological sciences. This book will appeal to those who are new to the field or are thinking of entering the field and cannot afford to waste valuable time using outdated methods. It will also be of interest to those who are already working in the area but may not be aware of the multitude of methods that are now available for the assessment of apoptosis - as well as the pitfalls associated with a particular method. Techniques in Apoptosis is an essential bench companion for graduates, postdoctoral fellows, research scientists and clinicians working on any aspect of cell growth and cell death."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: The ability to detect and quantify apoptosis, to understand its biochemistry, and to identify its regulatory genes and proteins is crucial to biomedical research. In Apoptosis: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition, expert researchers describe the techniques to best investigate the critical steps involved in the apoptotic process. Presented from several different research perspectives, the volume contains sections covering detection of apoptosis, detection of non-apoptotic cell death, modifications of apoptotic proteins during apoptosis, the analysis of its major regulators, as well as analysis of apoptosis in different organs and in model organisms. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, Apoptosis: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition constitutes a key technical reference to the significant methodologies used in the field, and offers beginners and experienced researchers powerful tools to illuminate the phenomena of programmed cell death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most fundamental question facing each and every cell within an org- ism is to survive or to die. Cell death is required for normal function; some estimates suggest that as many as one million cells undergo cell death every second in the adult human body. Almost all cells undergoing physiological, or programmed, cell death, independent of cell type, manifest a stereotypic p- tern of morphological changes termed apoptosis. Typically, apoptotic cells d- play shrinkage, membrane blebbing, chromatin condensation, and nuclear fragmentation. The integrity of the cell membrane is not lost during apoptosis and so avoids eliciting the inflammatory response that would have been caused by the spillage of the cell’s contents. This is quite in contrast to the loss of cell contents typical of necrosis. The caspases, the family of intracellular cysteine proteases associated with apoptosis, are responsible for the stereotypical m- phological changes. Caspases cleave various substrate proteins that act on DNA fragmentation, nuclear envelope integrity, the cytoskeleton, and cell volume regulation. Apoptotic cells are cleared in vivo by the process of phagocytosis, in which specific “phagocytes” move to the site of apoptosis, engulf the dying cells and digest them. Apoptosis has a central role in many physiological processes, for example, in the immune system. Autoreactive cells are deleted via apoptosis to prevent autoimmunity. At the end of an immune response, activated lymphocytes are removed to maintain homeostasis within the immune system.

Book excerpt: The aim of Apoptosis and Cancer is to describe the performance of contemporary techniques for studying the biology of apoptosis and its role in cancer. The protocols described will aid both the academic laboratory interested in further characterizing the mechanisms of apoptosis, as well as the industry laboratory, aimed at identifying new target molecules or screening for new compounds with potential clinical use.

Davis has assembled a panel of cutting-edge scientists to describe their best methods for detecting, illuminating, and quantifying apoptotic mechanisms in a way that is useful for the design of toxicology and pharmacology studies. These state-of-the-art techniques include flow cytometric, fluorometric, and laser scanning methods for quantifying and characterizing apoptosis, as well as protocols for the use of DNA microarray technology, high throughput screens, and ELISA. Immunocytochemical methods for measuring biochemical and molecular endpoints in tissue sections will be highly useful for those carrying out studies in whole animal models as opposed to cell culture systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the question is one of basic cell survival, or whether it is being used to correlate cell number to some other factor such as matrix synthesis, an estimate of cell viability is universally required. In Mammalian Cell Viability: Methods and Protocols, experts in the field describe methods from the most basic which can be performed in any laboratory, to some which require specific pieces of equipment. Initially focusing on methods for monolayer and suspension cells, later chapters describe methods for determining viability within tissue sections and 3 dimensional culture systems. Finally, methods requiring highly specialized equipment are described in order to explain what is possible. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and vital tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Practical and adaptable, Mammalian Cell Viability: Methods and Protocols serves as a self-contained laboratory manual useful to both experienced researchers and those new to this incredibly important and influential field.

This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the proteases involved in programmed cell death. It presents a focused yet extensive discussion on proteolytic enzymes such as caspases, HtrAs, granzymes, calpains and cathepsins as well as laboratory protocols related to enzymology and apoptosis. Mouse model systems and non-invasive imaging techniques in apoptosis-related diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration are also covered in this book. While slowly unravelling the complexities of apoptosis in chapter one, the next three chapters individually elaborate on different classes of proteases that play key roles in the initiation, progression and execution of programmed cell death. The last two chapters complete this discussion by describing different laboratory methodologies and therapeutic advances involving apoptotic proteases. Protocols portraying in vitro and ex vivo colorimetric and fluorescence-based enzyme kinetic studies as well as cell death assays are explained in the fifth chapter. Preclinical in vivo models and non-invasive imaging in apoptosis to understand the complexities of disease progression and their contribution toward therapeutics is recounted in the last chapter. The book spans topics related to both fundamental and applied biology. It would therefore be equally appealing and informative to scientists working in the field of apoptosis and those who are investigating mechanisms of proteases and enzymes in general. The protocols would certainly benefit both graduate and undergraduate students working in the related fields and provide useful leads for drug design to translational biologists involved in neurodegeneration and cancer research.
