R. Ian Freshney – författare

This book collects the most effective and cutting-edge methods and protocols for deriving and culturing human embryonic and adult stem cells—in one handy resource.

This groundbreaking book follows the tradition of previous books in the Culture of Specialized Cells Series—each methods and protocols chapter is laid out exactly like the next, with stepwise protocols, preceded by specific requirements for that protocol, and a concise discussion of methods illustrated by data. The editors describe a limited number of representative techniques across a wide spectrum of stem cells from embryonic, newborn, and adult tissue, yielding an all-encompassing and versatile guide to the field of stem cell biology and culture.

The book includes a comprehensive list of suppliers for all equipment used in the protocols presented, with websites available in an appendix. Additionally, there is a chapter on quality control, and other chapters covering legal and ethical issues, cryopreservation, and feeder layer culture. This text is a one-stop resource for all researchers, clinical scientists, teachers, and students involved in this crucial area of study.

Culture of Specialized Cells Culture of Immortalized Cells Edited by R. Ian Freshney and Mary G. Freshney The ability to develop immortalized cells in vitro is a powerfultool for the biological investigator. Most cells can only bereproduced unchanged for a limited number of cell generationsbefore the initial cell lines die. The immortalization of cellsestablishes continuous cell lines, playing an important role in thestudy of the biology of cell growth, differentiation, andsenescence. It also increases our understanding of aberrations inproliferative and positional control in malignant cells. Culture of Immortalized Cells provides the most up-to-date in vitromethods and safety procedures for the immortalization of primarycultures of various cell types. Coedited by one of the leadingfigures in the field, R. Ian Freshney, author of Culture of AnimalCells, Third Edition, Culture of Immortalized Cells is the latestvolume in the critically acclaimed Culture of Specialized CellsSeries.

DNA transfer to cultured cells Edited by Katya Ravid and R. Ian Freshney Rapid advances in DNA transfer technology have transformed many disciplines, ranging from molecular genetics to biotechnology. Scientists now have the means to introduce copies of genes into different cell types, then detect the expression of these genes in the cell. It is now possible to regulate cell growth that may lead to cancer, develop new biopharmaceuticals, and apply knowledge about the role of genes in cell processes to basic research in molecular genetics. DNA Transfer to Cultured Cells is the first quick reference to all of the established techniques for the transfer of genetic material to cells in vitro. Featuring contributions by leading researchers in the field, this detailed guide walks the reader through a variety of DNA transfer methods, describes their application to specific cell types, and integrates aspects of molecular biology with tissue culture. Offering overviews and detailed protocols for the techniques under discussion in each of its sections, this book covers an exceptionally broad array of topics, including:* Viral infection* Electroporation* Phosphate precipitation* DEAE Dextran* Liposomes* Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs)* Whole chromosome transfer* Enhanced expression. Special sections at the end of each chapter list suppliers for necessary reagents and materials. This easy-to-use, self-contained guide addresses key developments of recent years as well as emerging trends in DNA transfer. For practical applications in cell biology, genetics, heredity, biotechnology, or evolution, DNA Transfer to Cultured Cells is a unique and unparalleled resource.
