This volume describes cell culture protocols for the maintenance, propagation, manipulation, and analysis of primary explanted cells from various mouse organ systems.

Statistical Methods for Field and Laboratory Studies in Behavioral Ecology focuses on how statistical methods may be used to make sense of behavioral ecology and other data.

This book discusses 14 model organisms and are used by thousands of researchers, teachers, and students each year in laboratories and classrooms, around the globe. Though acknowledged in innumerable scientific journal articles, little is generally known about the origin of these collections, how the organisms contained within them have been acquired, and how they are maintained and distributed. Content includes information on the Laboratory Axolotl and Ambystoma Genetic Stock Center, the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center, The Bacillus Genetic Stock Center/Bacillus subtilis, Genetic resources of rotifers in the genus Brachionus, the Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (CGC) and the Caenorhabditis elegans Natural Diversity Resource, the Chlamydomonas Resource Center, The Zebrafish International Resource Center, the Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center, Fungal Genetics Stock Center, the Peromyscus Genetic Stock Center, the Tetrahymena Stock Center, National Xenopus Resource, Xiphophorus Fishes and the Xiphophorus Genetic Stock Center, ATCC : the biological resource center.

This book discusses the advancement of nanotechnologies in almost every field, ranging from materials science, to food, forensic, agriculture and life sciences, including biotechnology and medicine.

This book describes human development including sexual reproduction and stem cell research with the development of model organisms that are accessible to genetic and experimental analysis in readily understandable texts and 315 multi-colored graphics.

This volume is essential for geneticists, molecular biologists, biochemists, and medical doctors interested in the use of mouse models in cancer research. Recent genome studies, together with refined genetic engineering techniques, have greatly increased the value of using mice for research on cancer and other human disorders. The chapters of this book will support scientists in choosing the most suitable mouse models for their research questions.

Ours is an era of increasing tension, both global and local. and not surprisingly, PTSD is recognized not only in combat veterans and active military personnel, but also disaster and assault survivors across the demographic spectrunt events from mass shootings to the debate over trigger warnings keep the issue in the public eye, the disorder remains a steady concern among researchers and practitioners.

This book provides an overview of fetal psychobiological research, focusing on brain and behavior, genetic and epigenetic factors affecting both short and long-term development, and technological breakthroughs in the field.

In Animal Models for Stem Cell Therapy: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail disease models of hepatic, cardiovascular, neurological diseases, connective, and contractile tissue. Chapters focus on a wide range of diseases and application of different kinds of stem cells and reprogrammed tissue cells.

This book introduces undergraduate, postgraduate and research students and scientists to animal models of neurological disorders, along with their working principle and brief procedures.

A guide to the principles and methods of quantitative studies of behaviour, with an emphasis on techniques of observation, recording and analysis. Aimed primarily at undergraduate and graduate students in biology and psychology who are about to embark upon quantitative studies of animal and human behaviour.

This stimulating analysis reviews the broad potential of animal models to foster a deeper understanding of human pathology, strengthen connections between genetic and behavioral studies, and develop more effective treatments for mental disorders.

"Animal Models for the Study of Human Disease" identifies important animal models and assesses the advantages and disadvantages of each model for the study of human disease.
