"The present title "Biotechnology of Animal Tissues" has been designed for all those who wish to know and use the principles and techniques of modern biotechnology, whether they are technicians needing further education, graduate wishing to extend their knowledge base and potential, mature workers faced with changing work or a new career, managers unfamiliar with the new technology or those returning to work after a career break.
To cultivate animal cells in vitro, under pinning the understanding of animal cell biology has been a developing capability. Cultivation of animal cells on an industrial scale enables the production of sufficient quantities of animal cell derived materials to be of real value to society. This text is designed to describe the principles and techniques of culturing animal tissues, so that others may contribute to this important and expanding area of endeavour." (jacket)
