Bioreactors in Stem Cell Biology (2^nd Ed., 2nd ed. 2022) Methods and Protocols Methods in Molecular Biology Series, Vol. 2436

This new edition brings together some of the latest developments and protocols reflecting the rapidity with which bioreactor technologies are advancing and being applied. Given that the use of bioreactors in cell biology is becoming more commonplace as attempts are made to scale-up production of various types of cells for regenerative medicine and pharmaceutical purposes, this volume provides practical guidance for navigating research projects. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
