Neural Cell Culture: A Practical Approach

About this book

This book brings together methods for preparing and maintaining cell cultures from a diverse range of neural tissues and cells, from both the central and peripheral nervous systems. This book is intended for research scientists in basic and clinical neuroscience/neurology (inc. pharmaceutical company R&D). Post graduate neuroscience/neurology, cell biology.
