The Nutrient Requirements of Cultured Mammalian Cells

  • Chapter
Advances in Nutritional Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Nutritional Research ((ANUR,volume 4))

Abstract

This chapter seeks to bridge a gap in current research by analyzing the nutrient requirements of cultured mammalian cells from a perspective that is usually applied only to nutritional studies with intact animals. The combined experience of the authors includes both whole-animal nutrition and the growth requirements of cultured cells. In order to make our presentation clear to members of both disciplines, it is necessary to begin by comparing a number of concepts and specific terms from the two fields.
