  3. Handbooks in Practical Animal Cell Biology

The ability to grow cells in culture is an important and recognised part of biomedical research, but getting the culturing conditions correct for any particular type of cell is not always easy. These books aim to overcome this problem. The conditions necessary to culture different types of cell are clearly and simply explained in different volumes. Each volume covers a particular type of cell, and contains chapters by recognised experts explaining how to culture different lineages of the cell type. These practical handbooks are clearly essential reading for anyone who uses cell culture in the course of their research.

General Techniques of Cell Culture
  • Maureen A. Harrison, Ian F. Rae
  • Published online:
    02 February 2010

    13 October 1997
  • Cell culture techniques are invaluable to the modern researcher but difficult to carry out successfully. As part of the series of Handbooks in Practical Animal Cell Biology, this volume offers a concise practical guide to the basic essentials of the technique. Researchers new to cell culture will find a clear explanation of the essential equipment of a tissue culture facility, including tissue culture media and sera. It describes methods for growing suspension and adhesion cultures, including how to store cells and prepare primary cultures from cells. For those already culturing cells, the handbook will act as a handy reference to the basic techniques. The essence of the book is to deal with the generalities of cell culture to give a grasp of the basic concepts before involvement in more specialized work in the field. Ideal for anyone moving into tissue cell culture techniques or looking for a concise reference book.

Marrow Stromal Cell Culture
  • Edited by Jon N. Beresford, Maureen E. Owen
  • Published online:
    20 January 2010
    Print publication:
    13 April 1998
  • The first book of its kind on marrow stromal cells, and written by leading experts in the field, this concise handbook aims to provide all that is needed to those new to this relatively young area of research. It provides a historical perspective and a summary of present knowledge of the marrow stromal lineages which are currently best understood. Detailed protocols for the isolation, culture and characterization of marrow stromal cell types from human and other animal species are given. The breadth and depth of the subject matter included makes the book equally suitable for new researchers and the more experienced investigator in this rapidly expanding field, including clinicians and bioscientists.

Endothelial Cell Culture
  • Edited by Roy Bicknell
  • Published online:
    03 November 2009
    Print publication:
    28 September 1996
  • The aim of the Handbooks in Practical Animal Cell Biology is to provide practical workbooks for those involved in primary cell culture. Each volume addresses a different cell lineage, and contains an introductory section followed by individual chapters on the culture of specific differentiated cell types. The authors of each chapter are leading researchers in their fields and use their first-hand experience to present reliable techniques in a clear and thorough manner. Endothelial Cell Culture contains chapters on endothelial cells derived from 1) lung, 2) bone marrow, 3) brain, 4) mammary glands, 5) skin, 6) adipose tissue, 7) female reproductive system, and 8) synovium.
