Recently, many ground-breaking steps have been made towards  better understanding NO/cGMP/PKG pathways, its components, substrates, and their localization within a given cell. These advances were only possible due to the development of sophisticated new techniques in the field. In Guanylate Cyclase and Cyclic GMP: Methods and Protocols expert researchers in the field seek to provide an overview of novel techniques to identify various elements of the NO/cGMP/PKG pathway and further characterize their function, signaling, localization, and importance on a cellular level and in whole animal models providing a higher patho-/physiological integration and relevance.  Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and practical, Guanylate Cyclase and Cyclic GMP: Methods and Protocols seeks to provide  scientist current methods and a useful guide towards the possibility to apply these techniques to their own research.

Based on the understanding of the molecular basis of skin diseases, this truly international book supports the reader to understand the mode of action of new and established therapies. Thus, by explaining the molecular pathology with its applications for therapy, it provides the reader with an up-to-date knowledge of the therapy of skin disease and helps to understand ongoing and new developments in the field. Written and edited by international and renowned dermatology experts from Europe, America and Asia, it also includes regional concepts of therapies.

The reader-friendly structure allows the reader to pick up the information quickly; for example, each chapter highlights practical hints for indications and applications. This lavishly illustrated book will support the reader to choose the most appropriate therapy for the patient and to reach a better treatment outcome. It will be an indispensable resource for dermatologists in university departments as well as in clinical practice.
