Technology Platforms for 3D Cell Culture: A Users Guide points to the options available to perform 3D culture, shows where such technology is available, explains how it works, and reveals how it can be used by scientists working in their own labs.
* Offers a comprehensive, focused guide to the current state-of-the-art technologies available for 3D cell culture
* Features contributions from leading developers and researchers active in 3D cell technology
* Gives clear instruction and guidance on performing specific 3D culture methods, along with colour illustrations and examples of where such technologies have been successfully applied
* Includes information on resources and technical support to help initiate the use of 3D culture methods
