Download or read book Organ Culture written by J Thomas and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organ Culture provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of the study of autodifferentiation. This book discusses the physiological differentiation, the action of substances that inhibit or stimulate growth, and the interactions of associated organs. Organized into 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the differentiation of embryonic organs in natural media. This text then presents the study of differentiation in synthetic solid or liquid media and explains the biochemical and physiological requirements of the tissues. Other chapters consider the problems of sexual differentiation and intersexuality in vitro by providing a comparative study of avian and mammalian embryos. This book analyzes as well the interactions between hormones, inhibitor substances, and receptor organs in vitro. The final chapter deals with the study of organ chimeras in vitro and the related study of the organ culture of malignant tumors. This book is a valuable resource for embryologists and research workers.

This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one argues today that our world is modern. History teaches us that this modernity is the fruit of an evolution. This evolution that is the mainstream direction of world history has not been uniform on the entire face of the earth. At certain periods, in certain parts, localities, or countries of the world, changes and transformations took revolutionary forms. These changes and transformations are the result of the combination of factors. While some are involuntary, some are desired and sought for. The impacts of these changes and transformations affect the environment, life settings, as well as the lives of the people who are at their origin. The effects of changes and evolutions have taught human beings that change outcomes on the environment, on life setting, and to life itself can be induced. It is to these voluntary and planned transformations at the level of a community, a country, or group of countries from one continent to another, from one part of the world to another, has led to their classification as rich or poor, developed or underdeveloped. Other classifications place countries in three categories: developed countries (first world), emergent countries (second world), underdeveloped countries (third world).

Book excerpt: First Published in 1990, this text brings together the work of several investigators who used in vitro techniques to probe the nature of embryonic cell response to a diverse group of chemical agents. It focuses on the approaches, limitations, usefulness and applicability of defining mechanisms underlying altered development. This work includes discussions on pharmacodynamic principles and placental transfer mechanisms. It also examines the potential for in vitro systems to serve as an adjunct to the risk assessment process. Ideal for both the layman and the expert in this area, this volume provides a general understanding of the types of approaches that can be used and specific approaches in investigating altered development.
Download or read book Invertebrate Tissue Culture Methods written by Jun Mitsuhashi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started insect cell culture work in 1962, when T. D. C. Grace reported the first establishment of invertebrate continuous cell lines. He obtained grow ing cells from pupal ovaries of the emperor gum moth, Antheraea euca lypti. At that time, I was trying to obtain growing cells from leafhoppers. Grace's method could not be applied directly to my culture because of the differences in species, the size of the insects, and the tissue to be cul tured. The vertebrate tissue culture methods gave me some ideas for pre paring cultures from leafhoppers, but those could not be used directly either. There were no textbooks and no manuals for invertebrate tissue culture, so I had to develop a method by myself. First, I considered what type and what size of vessels are suitable for insect tissue culture. Also, I had to look for suitable materials to construct the culture vessels. Sec ond, I had to examine various culture media, especially growth-promot ing substances, such as sera. Then I had to improve culture media by trial and error. The procedure to set up a primary culture was also a problem. How could I sterilize materials? How could I remove tissues from a tiny insect? How many tissues should I pool in order to set up one culture? I had to find out the answers. Naturally, it took a lot of time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work, the result of the work of a team from Angers, France, constitutes a study that is complete, solid, accessible, and practical, which only the diversity of the authors (teachers, researchers, practitioners) and their competence could make possible. This new edition takes into account the most recent experiments, particularly in the field of biotechnology and in vitro mycorrhization: to achieve this the editorial team included two professors of the Faculty of Sciences of Angers. Moreover, the applications of in vitro culture are brought up to date. The work presents first of all the scientific aspects (basics, physiology) and technological aspects (set-up of a laboratory, achievement of cultures); this information is completed with mycorrhization and biotechnology. Then the authors develop the horticultural applications, emphasising genetic and hygiene aspects; finally, they tackle agronomic applications of in vitro culture, always pointing out the present constraints. In Vitro Culture and Its Applications in Horticulture addresses readers as diverse as professionals in horticulture, educators, public and private researchers, and the endless ranks of horticultural workers.

Download or read book Morphogenesis of Thyroid Follicles in Vitro written by P. Cau and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thyroid gland first appears in the phylogenic scale in the Lamprey larva, Ammocoetes, at the time of metamorphosis (see review by Constantinescu, 1972). In higher Vertebrates the adult thyroid gland consists of vesicles i. e. thyroid follicles containing colloid and lined with a cubic or prismatic epithelium. Since the end of the 19th century, many authors have studied the morphoge nesis of the follicles during the embryonic and fetal development of the gland in Man and other species, principally Chick, Rat and Rabbit. The development of techniques for culturing organs of higher animals, in particular the thyroid by Carrel and Burrows (1910) and Champy (1914, 1915), allowed the study of the survival in vivo or in vitro of grafts or explants of thyroid gland obtained from adult or fetal animals. In addition to organotypic cultures, techniques for culturing cell suspensions obtained by enzymatic dissociation have recently been refined. Moreover, histological examination of pathological human glands and adult thyroids experimentally stimulated by thyrotropin hormone (TSH) has provided additional data for the understanding of thyroid follicle morphogenesis.
