The volume brings together some of the best experts in the field of modern metabolomics to discuss various techniques used today to study specific metabolite classes, and metabolomics in bacterial systems and mammalian systems. The chapters in this book cover topics such as Isotopic Ratio Outlier Analysis (IROA) for quantitative analysis; cholesterol and derivatives in ocular tissues using LC-MS/MS methods; microbial siderophores analysis by mass spectrometry; the metabolomic study of tissues in Parkinson¿s Disease; and NMR analysis in livestock metabolomics. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, the chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory protocols, tips on troubleshooting and avoiding pitfalls.Cutting-edge and thorough, Metabolomics: Methods and Protocols is an essential resource for any researcher interested inthis exciting and evolving field.

This detailed volume focuses on recent technological, computational, and biostatistical advances in the field of high-throughput metabolomics. Chapters encompass methods, platforms, and analytical strategies for steady state measurements and metabolic flux analysis with stable isotope-labeled tracers, in biological matrices of clinical relevance and model organisms. Mass spectrometry-based or orthogonal methods are discussed, along with computational and statistical methods to address data sparsity in high-throughput metabolomics approaches. As a part of 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, High-Throughput Metabolomics: Methods and Protocols provides tools that can bring about thenext generation of clinical biochemistry in a cost-effective, rigorous fashion, exponentially advancing our capacity to investigate nature while hastening the advent of personalized medicine.

This detailed book provides a state-of-the-art compilation of protocols relevant for the experimental study of cholestasis, each written by internationally recognized research teams that have built up long-standing expertise regarding one or more aspects of experimental cholestasis research. The first half of the collection examines methods targeted towards studying established and new mechanisms of cholestasis, while the second half explores experimental models and tools to investigate mechanisms of cholestasis and/or to predict cholestatic properties of drugs. 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, Experimental Cholestasis Research serves as an ideal guide for basic andapplied researchers pursuing this vital area of research in pharmacology and toxicology.

This volume explores the diversity in progenitor cell biology methods and uniquely describes techniques for isolating, generating, and characterizing progenitor cells from either tissue or embryonic stem cells. The chapters in this book cover topics such as isolating progenitor cells from sources including adipose tissue, blood, bone marrow, ear, gut, heart, pancreatic islets, and Whirton¿s jelly; deriving neural, pancreatic, and urothelial precursors from the embryonic stem cells; and culturing isolated islets in vitro to generate progenitor cells via epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. This book also delves into digital droplet PCR; flow cytometry and cell sorting; mitochondrial assays; calcium ratiometric signaling; and 2D gel electrophoresis. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratoryprotocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Cutting-edge and thorough, Progenitor Cells: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for scientists and researchers interested in learning more about this evolving and diverse field.
