Step-by-step, practical guidance for the acquisition, manipulation,
and use of cell sources for tissue engineering
Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field incorporating
the principles of biology, chemistry, engineering, and medicine to
create biological substitutes of native tissues for scientific
research or clinical use. Specific applications of this technology
include studies of tissue development and function, investigating
drug response, and tissue repair and replacement. This area is
rapidly becoming one of the most promising treatment options for
patients suffering from tissue failure.
Written by leading experts in the field, Culture of Cells
for Tissue Engineering offers step-by-step, practical
guidance for the acquisition, manipulation, and use of cell sources
for tissue engineering. It offers a unique focus on tissue
engineering methods for cell sourcing and utilization, combining
theoretical overviews and detailed procedures.
Features of the text include:
* Easy-to-use format with a two-part organization
* Logically organized—part one discusses cell sourcing,
preparation, and characterization and the second part examines
specific engineered tissues
* Each chapter covers: structural and functional properties of
tissues, methodological principles, culture, cell
selection/expansion, cell modifications, cell seeding, tissue
culture, analytical assays, and a detailed description of
representative studies
* End-of-chapter features include useful listings of sources for
reagents, materials, and supplies, with the contact details of the
suppliers listed at the end of the book
* A section of elegant color plates to back up the figures in the
chapters
Culture of Cells for Tissue Engineering gives
novice and seasoned researchers in tissue engineering an invaluable
resource. In addition, the text is suitable for professionals in
related research, particularly in those areas where cell and tissue
culture is a new or emerging tool.
