Fast and sensitive method for simultaneous measurement of cell proliferation rate and drug sensitivity in rat cerebral cortex
A proliferation assay based on the production of mini-units of tissue was adopted and modified for the simultaneous determination of cell proliferation rate and the effect of genistein in rat cerebral cortex. Mini- units of tissue were produced from rat cerebral cortex immediately after killing the...
