Description
Taylor & Francis Cell Adhesion in Bioprocessing and Biotechnology 1995 Edition by Martin Hjortso
Offers a detailed introduction to the fundamental phenomena that govern cell adhesion and describes bioengineering processes that employ cell adhesion, focusing on both biochemical and biomedical applications. All industrially relevant issues of cell adhesion - from basic concepts, quantitative experiments, and mathematical models to applications in bioreactors and other process equipment - are examined. Table of Contents : Kinetics of Ligand-Receptor Bond Formation; Mathematical Models of Specific Cell Adhesion Phenomena; Cell Adhesion In Animal Cell Culture - Physiological and Fluid-Mechanical Implications; Surface Immobilization of Plant Cells; Cell Aggregation and Sedimentation; Microbial Biofilms and Biofilm Reactors; Matrices and Activation Methods for Cell Adhesion/Immobilization Studies.
