Preface Two topics—cell–cell interactions and stem cell renewal—are now inexorably linked as we strive to understand the stem cell niche and its function. I have thus selected a number of representative protocols to provide readers with approaches for studying these complimentary aspects of stem cells. As always, I am grateful to the contributors to this volume, for their generosity in sharing their protocols and the numerous details that will help others use these methods to advance their own studies. This volume, as others that I have been involved with, would not have materialized without the strong support and encouragement of the Editor in Chief of the Methods in Molecular Biology series, Dr. John Walker. Similarly, I am grateful to the Executive Editor of Methods in Molecular Biology, Patrick Marton, for being a great cheerleader during the maturation of this volume. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the Editor of Methods
