This volume reviews available mouse models of atherosclerosis, basic aspects of disease initiation and progression, and the visualization of atherosclerotic lesions with invasive and non-invasive techniques that are widely used both in basic research and in the clinic. The chapters catalogue a wide range of
in vitro
and
in vivo
experimental methods used for atherosclerosis research, including thorough prools and valuable notes based on the authors’ personal wet lab experience. Written in the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical,
Methods in Mouse Atherosclerosis
will be a valuable working guide for researchers performing mouse-based atherosclerosis studies.
