"Investigators working in the general area of DNA damage, including apoptosis, will find this book of use. The protocols are sufficiently detailed so as to allow experienced laboratory workers access to the described methods. . .the broad spectrum of methods described allows for individual investigators to exercise options."-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"Here, a panel of experts describe all the major in situ techniques for studying DNA damage and apoptosis, and how approaches originally designed to label apoptotic cells can be used for DNA damage analysis (and vice versa)." - European Journal of Histochemistry
