From the reviews: This book is an excellent resource to help researchers find practical information to enable them to develop three-dimensional cell culture systems. ... anyone who wishes to enter this field should be able to use this book to develop their own bespoke 3D system. In conclusion, I would recommend this book as being very useful to a wide audience ... . will be essential for graduate students and postdocs as well as to investigators wishing to expand their work into 3D cell culture and tissue engineering. (Julian B. Chaudhuri, ChemBioChem, Vol. 12, 2011) A necessary book for all who use cell culture. No other words can better tell the reader about this compendium of the most innovative culture techniques we hold to try to reach the ultimate goal of cell culture ... . For those who wish to enter the field, some introductory reviews explain the present-day challenges in 3D culture while more detailed protocols talk about bioreactors and agarose constructs.
