Preface Laser microdissection techniques have revolutionized the ability of researchers in general and pathologists in particular to carry out molecular analysis on specific types of normal and diseased cells and to fully utilize the power of current molecular technologies including PCR, microarrays, next generation sequencing, and proteomics. The primary purpose of the third edition of this volume of Methods in Molecular Biology is to provide the reader with practical advice on how to carry out tissue-based laser microdissection successfully in their own laboratory using the different laser microdissection systems that are available and apply a wide range of molecular technologies. The individual chapters encompass detailed descri
