5 Best Books on Cell Culture Techniques

“Epithelial Cell Culture Protocols(Methods in Molecular Biology)” Book Review: This book is designed for well versed experimenters and clinical researchers. This book gives a step-by-step guide for epithelial cell culture. It also gives information about their characteristics and how they can be used to set up models of critical biological systems. The book gives emphasis on the analysis and assessment of epithelial cells. It could be examining apoptosis and integrins or estimating membrane capacitance and confluence. The book also describes the co-culture techniques. Co-culture techniques develop models to investigate different in vitro systems. It can be the blood-brain barrier, drug uptake and the interaction of epithelial cells with bacteria. This book also discusses the Epithelial Cell Culture Protocols. It guides on cellular and molecular mechanisms. It also discusses techniques for assessing the nature and behaviour of epithelial cells.

“Culture of Animal Cells: A Manual of Basic Technique and Specialized Applications” Book Review: This book is designed for scientists, clinical and biopharmaceutical researchers. It can also be used by students of undergraduate and postgraduate, cell and molecular biology, lab managers, technicians. This book is updated with various fields such as stem cells, 3D culture, etc. along with its basic skills and protocols. This book examines applications of cell culture and the proliferation of specialized techniques. Newly added feature includes chapters on cell line authentication. It includes reviews regarding the major issues and appropriate protocols such as the DNA profiling and barcoding. Some protocols are conferred as supplementary material online to reduce the bulk size of books and the ongoing expansion of cell culture. This book gives an approachable introduction of culture and experimental manipulation of animal cells.

“Cell Culture Techniques” Book Review: This book discusses the techniques of Cell Culture. Culture is the process by which prokaryotic, eukaryotic or plant cells are grown under controlled conditions. India tops in the world when it comes to the burden of infectious diseases. In the past, diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, AIDS were common. In the late 190, measles, leprosy, dengue, cholera etc. became more widespread. Indiana is facing an epidemiological transition even though health and immunization programs were held. Moreover, in various states, non-communicable disease grants the burden of disease. As time changes, there are changes in the lifestyle of a person. Changes are seen in the diet, behaviour, exercises which could be a trigger to non- communicable diseases. Non communicable diseases could be coronary heart diseases, obesity, diabetes etc. People are suffering from it more than the communicable diseases.

“Tissue Culture Techniques for Horticulture Crops” Book Review: This book is designed for people concerned with the techniques and practices of plant cell cultures. This book can also be used by students and professionals in ornamental horticulture, plant science, etc. In the past five years, several researches have been made in plant tissue. This brings changes in the field of plant tissue. Many techniques are associated in manipulating the plant tissue culture, which are now straightforward. The representation of those techniques in short volume is unavailable for beginners. This book also discusses chapters providing a brief, general review of important cultural parameters. It also discusses the techniques for establishing and manipulating specific species. Different protocols including laboratory procedures are given in the appendix. This book will be useful for those interested in plant tissue culture techniques for horticultural crops.

“Cereal Tissue and Cell Culture (Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology)” Book Review: This book is useful in the field of agriculture, researchers and scientists. It basically deals with the cereal tissues and cell culture. It discusses the applications of culture techniques in the cereals. It provides the knowledge of embryo development. Factors affecting embryo culture are also covered in this book. Along with the theoretical portions it also covers the practical applications of modern techniques used in the field of agriculture.
