Summary

Our understanding of the functions of epithelia, and their development and maintenance, has been rapidly advanced by the use of cell cultures which faithfully display the morphological, biochemical, and functional characteristics of these tissues.
This book gives detailed step-by-step descriptions of the methods used to mimic epithelial and endothelial tissues in vitro, and the techniques used to characterize these cell culture models, together with hints and tips for success, troubleshooting guides, and key background information.
Epithelial Cell Culture: A Practical Approach is a timely and comprehensive practical guide for all researchers who are studying, or intend to study, epithelia-related tissues using modern cell culture techniques. As such, this book will have a very wide appeal to cell biologists, developmental biologists, biochemists, pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, and toxicologists.
