Characterization of biomaterials

4. Assays for determining cell differentiation in biomaterials

By: J.A. Cooper,B.R. Mintz,S.L. Palumbo,W-J. Li

Biomaterials and scaffolds play an essential role in guiding tissue growth in vivo and matrix production in vitro. Many approaches have been developed to determine the differentiation of cells. The aim of this chapter is to give a general overview of the techniques which can be used to determine the differentiation of cells. This chapter should act as a guide offering advice as to the selection and optimization of protocols to meet particular needs for cell biomaterials characterization. We will begin with a brief review of the most commonly used methods and possible future developments.

An Archaeology of Manners

The Polite World of the Merchant Elite of Colonial Massachusetts

By: Lorinda B.R. Goodwin

A glance at the title of this book might well beg the question “What in heaven’s name does archaeology have to do with manners? We cannot dig up manners or mannerly behavior—or can we?” One might also ask “Why is mannerly behavior important?” and “What can archaeology contribute to our understanding of the role of manners in the devel- ment of social relations and cultural identity in early America?” English colonists in America and elsewhere sought to replicate English notions of gentility and social structure, but of necessity div- ged from the English model. The first generation of elites in colonial America did not spring from the landed gentry of old England. Rather, they were self-made, newly rich, and newly possessed of land and other trappings of England’s genteel classes. The result was a new model of gentry culture that overcame the contradiction between a value system in which gentility was conferred by birth, and the new values of bo- geois materialism and commercialism among the emerging colonial elites. Manners played a critical role in the struggle for the cultural legitimacy of gentility; mannerly behavior—along with exhibition of refined taste in architecture, fashionable clothing, elegant furnishings, and literature—provided the means through which the new-sprung colonial elites defined themselves and validated their claims on power and prestige to accompany their newfound wealth.

Experimental Transplantation Models in Small Animals

By: B. R. Christie

A guide to small animal use in transplantation research, for biomedical researchers. In most cases, the techniques were developed by the chapter authors. While some chapters are of general interest, other deal with specific procedures, mostly in rats and mice but with some rabbit work included. In acknowledgment of the ethical aspects of live animal experimentation, the detailed handling of the animals and the description of anesthesia and analgesia are central to many of the chapters. Thoroughly illustrated in bandw. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The Biology of Animal Viruses

By: Frank J. Fenner,B. R. McAuslan,C. A. Mims

The Biology of Animal Viruses, Second Edition deals with animal viruses focusing on molecular biology and tumor virology. The book reviews the nature, chemical composition, structure, and classification of animal viruses. The text also describes the methods of isolating animal viruses, how these are grown in the laboratory, assayed, purified, and used in biochemical experiments. The book also describes the structure and chemistry of many known viruses such as the papovaviridae, herpes virus, poxvirus, coronavirus, or the Bunyamwera supergroup. The book then explains the structure and function of the animal cell including the cytoplasmic organelles, the nucleus, inhibitors of cell function, and viral multiplication. Other papers discuss in detail the multiplication of the DNA and RNA viruses, whose mechanisms of multiplication differ from those of other viruses. Other papers discuss the known prevention and treatment methods of viral diseases, as well as the epidemiology and evolution of viral diseases resulting from human's disturbance of the biosphere and from medical and experimental innovations. The text can prove useful for immunologists, veterinarians, virologists, molecular researchers, students, and academicians in the field of cellular microbiology and virology.
