From the reviews of the second edition: "Provides step-by-step protocols for identifying apoptotic cells and analyzing their role in normal tissue development and disease. ... The book is written primarily for basic science and clinical researchers (graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, scientists) ... . Biomedical researchers working in radiation biology, pharmacology, and molecular pathology also will value this book because of its focus on apoptosis in various organs including the heart and brain. ... This beautiful up-to-date synthesis of information about the analysis of apoptosis is filled with practical information." (Bruce A. Fenderson, Doody's Review Service, July, 2010)
