Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The book is of interest to academic and industrial researchers but also clinicians who are working on inflammation related topics and would like to extend their knowledge about microarrays and the application thereof. After reading the book a researcher or clinician should be in the position to plan, perform and analyse or to critically review microarray experiments related to inflammation research.

So far, non of the published books covers all aspects which need to be taken into account when planning and performing a microrray experiment in inflammation research. Normally, for a researcher or clinician doing a microarray experiment it is not enough to have knowledge about microarrays , as the experiment does not start with purified and quality controlled RNA and does not end with signal intensities. Things like appropriate cell sorting techniques, stabilisation and transport of RNA or cells, the knowledge how to deal with whole blood as well as options for automation are crucial for a successful application of microarrays. Moreover these aspects are the main obstacles for transferring microarray based inflammation analysis from bench to bedside and the limiting factors for higher through put as needed in multicenter studies.

Reseña del editor

This book summarizes the most advanced technical aspects covering all steps for a thorough application of microarrays to inflammation topics – from sample generation to data analysis. In addition selected examples of successful applications of microarrays in major fields of inflammation research are presented. The book will help a researcher or clinician to plan, perform and analyze or to critically review microarray experiments related to inflammation research.
