Overview

In Vitro Techniques in Research: Recent Advances This book, based on a recent conference sponsored by the Humane Research Trust and held at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, considers a wide range of the very latest in vitro techniques and their applications. The book will be of interest to all scientists involved in animal experimentation or with pure research into in vitro techniques in biomedical research. Contents

In vitro studies with isolated human cells
The use of human cell cultures in the development of anti-rheumatic drugs
In vitro culture of human articular chondrocytes and intervertebral disc
Progress in the study of uptake and transport of exogenous material by nerve cells in tissue culture
The acquisition and differentiation of oligodendrocytes in re-aggregating glial cell cultures
The use of tumour cell cultures for understanding neuroendocrine cell biology
Morphological and biochemical changes in cultured cells exposed to toxic chemicals
Testing chemicals for acute toxicity and irritancy: the contribution of in vitro techniques
Laboratory methods for assessing carcinogen exposure in man
Use of engineered strains of Escherichia coli as an alternative to biological assays for available amino acids in foods and feedstuffs
