Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

This volume collects research methodologies for both basic and translational studies of myelin authored by experts in the field. Chapters in this book are divided into three parts: Part One focuses on visualizing myelin and studying it on a biochemical level; Part Two looks at cell culture systems used to uncover key mechanisms that regulate formation and maintenance of myelin; and Part Three discusses modeling disorders of myelin in both CNS and PNS, and therapeutic strategies for targeting these disorders. 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 laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Myelin: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for physiologists, molecular biologists, anatomists, cell and developmental biologists, and physician-scientists working in the field of myelin biology and the disorders associated with it.
