Description

Cell culture is the process of removing cells from an animal or plant and allowing them to develop again in an ideal artificial environment. The cells may come from a cell line or strain that has previously been established, or they may be directly taken from the tissue and disaggregated before cultivation using mechanical or enzymatic methods. Stem cells are still capable of self-renewing as well as to give birth to progeny that have a limited mitotic potential and a limited spectrum of unique types of differentiated cells. The classic illustration of the notion of stem cells is the process of making blood cells, also known as hemopoiesis. An essential component of biotechnology is animal cell and tissue culture, and this book covers all aspects of animal cell culture. In this book, there are eleven chapters on historical advances, lab design, sterilisation techniques, and different aspects of animal cell culture. This covers characterizations, storage, and preservation technologies for cell banking, cell transport, and cell monitoring.
