Culture of Cells for Tissue Engineering

Easy to use format with a two-part organization.

Logically organized, part one discussing cell sourcing, preparation and characterization and the second part looking at specific engineered tissues.

Integrates theoretical background and detailed step-by-step protocols for each system or application.

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
