Book Description

ISBN-10: 0896035166 | ISBN-13: 978-0896035164 | Publication Date: September 28, 1998 | Edition: 1

The first major collection of cutting-edge methods developed and used by leading researchers in the tissue engineering field. These hands-on experts describe easily reproducible protocols for the production and evaluation of polymers, scaffolds, and composites, as well as methods for the isolation, culture, and analysis of cells, including the combination of cells with a variety of materials or devices. Quantitative methods designed to assess cell performance and cell function that will also illuminate our understanding of cellular processes and the cellular response to the chemical and mechanical environment of a functional organ/tissue are also offered.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...will provide a very valuable laboratory aid for any researcher who wishes to enter the field. For the experienced cell biologist there are some gems of collected wisdom which he or she should find inspiring...a thoroughly recommended lab-bench book. . .This book should be in the library of every surgical research department. It is an excellent "how-to-do-it" work."-Journal of The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh

"This book, well-edited by Morgan and Yarmush, contains a nearly exhaustive series of protocols related to biomaterials, cells, composites of cells and biomaterials, and measurement techniques. The editors are known and respected in the field, and, as such, were able to attract some of the stalwart tissue engineering investigators. . . an indispensable aid to students and seasoned investigators in tissue engineering."-FEBS Letters

"...a weighty tome of over 600 pages which can really be considered a tour de force, a great achievement in both organizational and editing skills from Morgan and Yarmush, the editors. I found several of the contributions outstanding...a useful acquisition."-Cell Biology International
