Autophagy and Cancer : Methods and Protocols

This volume includes comprehensive methods and protocols on autophagic pathways in cancer disorders. Chapters cover basic principles of autophagy methodology in cancer cells, translational approaches, systematic computational analyses of TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) cohorts, CCLE (The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia) analysis, CRISPR genetics, metabolomics, biochemistry, and immunohistochemistry methodologies. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.  Authoritative and cutting-edge, Autophagy and Cancer: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field.
