Opis: Biopolymer Methods in Tissue Engineering - Anthony P. Hollander

Expert laboratory researchers describe in a standard format all the diverse laboratory methods needed to perform state-of-the-art tissue engineering. Topics range from the synthesis, processing, and characterization of specific biomaterials, through the successful use of scaffolds in the engineering of tissues, to techniques useful in evaluating the biological quality of scaffold-engineered tissues. Topics of special interest include the incorporation of biological molecules into scaffold biomaterials and the use of a wide range of methods and techniques to generate a comprehensive description of cell-polymer construct quality. From the reviews: "This small, 280-page volume is useful to people who are interested in using various laboratory techniques to conduct tissue engineering research. ... Tips on troubleshooting and avoiding pitfalls which appear at the end of nearly all chapters will be welcomed by users of the book. The goal of this book is to 'serve as a basic laboratory manual allowing tissue engineering scientists not only to access a wide range of techniques in one place, but also to have them described using a standard format'."
