Methods in Kidney Cell Biology Part A

Methods in Kidney Cell Biology, Volume 153, represents state-of-the-art techniques in renal research that are ideal for veterans, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical scientists and principal investigators. Topics in the new release include Single glomerular proteomics – a novel method in translational glomerular cell biology, Measurement of cytosolic and intraciliary calcium in live cells, Differentiation of human kidney organoids from pluripotent stem cells, Quantifying autophagic flux in kidney tissue using structured illumination microscopy, the Generation of primary cells from ADPKD and normal human kidneys, ADPKD cell proliferation and Cl-dependent fluid secretion, In vitro cyst formation of ADPKD cells, and much more.

Written by experts in their field who have perfected the methods they write aboutCovers a wide range of topics, from state-of-the-art techniques that may require specialized equipment, to tried-and-true classic methods in their most refined formIncludes cutting-edge, recently developed methods
