Diabetic Nephropathy Methods and Protocols

This book provides a toolkit of novel research approaches for investigators to study diabetic nephropathy, including critical experimental models from the fly to the fish, cells in culture, and in vivo mammalian approaches. The collection also explores powerful techniques to image the kidney, such a...
