Bioreactors for Stem Cell Expansion and Differentiation

An international team of investigators presents thought-provoking reviews of bioreactors for stem cell expansion and differentiation and provides cutting-edge information on different bioreactor systems. The authors offer novel insights into bioreactor-based culture systems specific for tissue engineering, including sophisticated and cost-effective manufacturing strategies geared to overcome technological shortcomings that currently preclude advances towards product commercialization. This book in the fields of stem cell expansion, bioreactors, bioprocessing, and bio and tissue engineering, gives the reader a full understanding of the state-of-art and the future of these fields.

Key selling features:

• Describes various bioreactors or stem cell culturing systems
• Reviews methods for stem cell expansion and differentiation for neural, cardiac, hemopoietic, mesenchymal, hepatic and other tissues cell types
• Distinguishes different types of bioreactors intended for different operational scales of tissue engineering and cellular therapies
• Includes contributions from an international team of leaders in stem cell research
