Reviews

“This is a fundamental book for researchers interested in starting or continuing work in an animal laboratory. … The book is of high quality and I imagine it would be of great benefit to any students and researchers participating in these procedures. I am sure it would be helpful to people involved in animal research that isn’t necessarily even related to transplant.” (Krishna G, Putchakayala, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2016)
