The increased use of biodegradable synthetic or natural scaffolds combined with cells and/or biological molecules to create functional replacement tissue in a damaged tissue site, has led to the need for the development of "best practice" methods in the area of tissue engineering to help ensure the creation of safe, high quality productions. Standardisation in cell and tissue engineering introduces the developments and current practice in the field of cell and tissue engineering to a wide audience and aims to provide awareness of the importance of standardization in this area, while also suggesting directions for future research.
Part one provides an overview of methods for cell and tissue engineering and includes chapters on the fundamentals of cell and matrix biology for tissue engineering, three-dimensional collagen biomatrix development, tissue culture methods for hard and soft tissue engineering, and vascularization of tissue engineered constructs. Part two begins with a chapter reviewing current international standards in cell and tissue engineering, before moving on to highlight issues of quality control, standardized chemical analysis and testing of biomaterials and principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) for in vitro cell culture applications.
