Cell and Tissue Culture for Medical Research

Cell and Tissue Culture for Medical Research is a collection of fundamental and specific applied procedures in cell and tissue culture for clinical research including those that form the basis for the new medical techniques of tissue engineering and gene therapy. This book combines detailed laboratory procedures and informative overviews to aid both laboratory work and the implementation of new lines of investigation, providing:
* Step-by-step protocols with troubleshooting tips;

* Alternative procedures, background reading and references to supplement the main procedures;

* Experimental examples to indicate expected results;

* Quick reference symbols, such as safety icons with warning notes; and,

* Suppliers' details to allow easy access to laboratory products.
Written by a team of international scientists, Cell and Tissue Culture for Medical Research will be of interest to clinical researchers and technicians who use cell and tissue culture to study disease. The book will be particularly valuable to those moving into areas where cell and tissue culture is a new or increasingly important tool in their research.
