The Nuclear Receptor Superfamily Methods and Protocols

This volume aims to describe a complementary range of molecular, cell biological, and in vivo protocols used to investigate the structure–function of nuclear receptors, together with experimental approaches that may lead to new drugs to selectively target nuclear receptor-associated diseases. The Nu...
