"If you are planning to set up any functional cell structure facility, small- or large-scale, Basic Cell Structure could be very useful. The book has high practical and scientific value. . .The text is compact and it is easy to find specific information. . .Overall, the book provides a guide for any university of pharmaceutical company laboratory, with or without good laboratory practise (GLP) standards, that aims to obtain consistent cell biological data. I suggest this book cold serve as a handy reference guide and recommend it for managers of cell structure facilities and any person practising cell structure work. . .[T]his book takes on a wider and more conclusive attitude to the cell structure process. Personally, I have placed it in the lab where I am working in , and my colleagues and I have found it to be very handy when working at the bench or planning future studies."--Journal of Cell Science

"The second edition contains a new chapter--on microscopy--updated information throughout the text, and an appendix of Internet sites. Students and professionals in the field of biotechnology will find this a comprehensive, clearly organized guide to laboratory procedures. Each chapter outlines basic principles, detailed discussion of the topic, a list of references, and numerous diagrams and photos. The topics include quality control of cell lines, cloning, specific cell types and their requirements, basic cell culture technique, primary culture, and the establishment and maintenance of cell lines."--SciTech Book News
