Items related to Cell-cell Interactions: No. 107 (A Practical Approach)
Synopsis
The type of communication between a cell and its immediate environment defines, to a large extent, the phenotype of that cell; it also determines the structure and function of the tissues and organs of which the cell is a part. This book describes the methods essential to the identification and characterization of the molecules that mediate cellular interactions in a variety of systems. Included are methods for preparing relevant probes, analyzing adhesive and junctional interactions in multicellular organizations, determining which structural features of a relevant molecule are functionally important, and for assaying the consequences of cell-cell interactions in cell culture. "Cell-cell Culture" aims to provide practical information relating to this area of cell biology. This book should therefore be useful to a range of biological scientists wishing to investigate the mechanisms and consequences of cellular interactions in their system of choice.

Review
'an important but often methodologically challenging area of cell biology ... goes a long way towards demystifying the methods involved in studying cell-cell interactions in various contexts ... almost uniformly clearly written ... this book would be very useful to any newcomer to the field of cell-cell interactions ... a rich resource in introducing the reader to the relevant literature ... it provides an excellent start towards thoughtful and successful scientific investigation of cell-cell interactions'Anne Hermanowski-Vosatka, The Rockefeller University, New York, Trends in Cell Biology, Vol. 3, August 1993
'There is a lot of valuable iinformation in this particular volume and it will certainly be of use to scientists practising in this field.'Cell Biology International, Vol. 17, No. 10, 1993
