MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
During the past decade, significant progress in molecular and cellular te- niques has greatly advanced our understanding of the wound healing p- cess. Many of these new techniques have been utilized in the context of more classic models of wound healing. The combination of new and classic approaches has allowed scientists to make exciting discoveries in the field of tissue repair, resulting in an explosion of information about the healing p- cess. Importantly, these new findings have great relevance beyond wound healing itself. The injury repair process cuts across many disciplines, exte- ing to such broad fields as cancer, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. The relevance of the field to these many disciplines has generated great interest in models and methods for the study of wound healing. The goal of Wound Healing: Methods and Protocols is to provide scientists from many dis- plines with a compendium of classic and contemporary protocols from r- ognized experts in the field of wound healing. We hope this volume will be useful not only to those working within the field itself, but also to scientists from other disciplines who wish to adapt wound healing models to their own experimental needs. The process of wound healing encompasses many different biologic p- cesses, including epithelial growth and differentiation, fibrous tissue prod- tion and function, angiogenesis, and inflammation.
Back cover:
During the past decade the significant progress made in cell and molecular biotechnology has led to exciting discoveries in the field of tissue repair, producing a wealth of information about the healing process. In Wound Healing: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers and physicians not only describe classic and contemporary laboratory methods for studying tissue repair using a broad range of wound healing models, but also provide sensitive assays for the assessment of tissue healing. The systems detailed include human, animal, in vitro, in vivo, and impaired healing models, as well as models in which underlying systemic and genetic conditions influence the healing process. Useful for the study of many biological processes, including angiogenesis, epidermal differentiation and repair, acute inflammation, ECM synthesis, and remodeling, these powerful models illustrate biochemical, molecular, and surgical techniques designed for the analysis and manipulation of the healing wound, and provide step-by-step instructions to ensure successful results. In many cases, several different approaches to a single process are examined, with sample results and analyses given to help users in selecting the approach most suited to the problem at hand.
Comprehensive and enlightening, Wound Healing: Methods and Protocols offers both basic and clinical scientists a thought-provoking and highly practical collection of widely used model systems and methods for studying the injury repair process.
