Methods in Pulmonary Research presents a comprehensive review of metho ds used to study physiology and the cell biology of the lung. The book covers the entire range of techniques from those that require cell cu ltures to those using in vivo experimental models. Up-to-date techniqu es such as intra vital microscopy are presented. Yet standard methods such as classical short circuit techniques used to study tracheal tran sport are fully covered. This book will be extremely useful for all wh o work in pulmonary research, yet need a practical guide to incorporat e other established methods into their research programs. Thus the boo k will prove to be a valuable resource for cell biologists who wish to use organs in their research programs as well biological scientists w ho are moving their research programs into more cell related phenomena .
