Abstract:

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 ...
