Preface
Cell Cycle Control and Dysregulation Protocols focuses on emerging
methodologies for studying the cell cycle, kinases, and kinase inhibitors. It
addresses the issue of gene expression in vivo and in vitro, the analysis of
cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, protein degradation mediated by the
proteosome, the analysis of the transformed cell phenotype, and innovative
techniques to detect apoptosis. Because there are already many manuals and
protocols available, along with commercial kits and reagents, a variety of the
more common techniques have not been included in our book.
The protocols described, based on rather sophisticated techniques for in vivo
and in vitro studies, consist of molecular biology, biochemistry, and various
types of immunoassays. Indeed, the authors have successfully
accomplished an arduous task by presenting several topics in the simplest
possible manner.
We are confident that Cell Cycle Control and Dysregulation Protocols will
facilitate and optimize the work of practical scientists involved in researching
the cell cycle. We greatly acknowledge the extraordinary contribution of the
authors in writing this book.
