This volume covers the most up-to-date methods and techniques used to further the understanding of chromaffin cell biology and pharmacology. Chapters guide readers through the basic mechanisms that regulate the stimulus-secretion coupling, chromaffin, tumor-derived cell PC-12 , morphology, biochemistry, pharmacology, electrophysiology, and electrochemistry. Written in the 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 protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Chromaffin Cells: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field. .
