Publisher's Synopsis
The cells and regulators involved in haemopoiesis are well characterized, providing biochemists and cell and molecular biologists with an exciting system in which to study normal and abnormal growth and differentiation. Rapid progress has also been made in the application of research techniques to human cells, giving rise to new therapeutic approaches to diseases such as leukaemia. This is a detailed guide to the most important methods in use in this area today, and will be of major interest to haematologists and researchers in many areas of basic and medical research.
