Animal cell culture is an essential feature of most biological and medical research. This volume provides all those who use cell culture with advice, information, and above all practical guidance on methods. A copy of the third edition of Animal Cell Culture should be available in every laboratory.

This new edition of Animal Cell Culture covers new or updated chapters on cell authentication, serum-free culture, apoptosis assays, FISH, genetic modification, scale-up, stem cell assays, 3-dimensional culture, tissue engineering and cytotoxicity assays. Detailed protocols for a wide variety of methods provide the core of each chapter, making new methodology easily accessible. Everyone working in biological and medical research, whether in academia or a commercial organization, practicing cell culture will benefit greatly from this book.

Well indexed ... put together in such a way that it will help many people in cell culture, but particularly those who need to 'bone-up' quickly on one of the areas of expertise included in this volume. In soft-cover, it is affordable and worth having in the average cell biology laboratory carrying out cell culture work, especially where postgraduates and postdoctoral students want some quick clear guidance.
