In order to optimize cell growth and product yield, it is essential to study the metabolism of each cell line to allow for the adjustment of the growth conditions and culture medium composition accordingly. Through the compilation of research articles, reviews, and research studies, the present book provides numerous examples of the in vitro cultivation of different mammalian, insect and plant cell lines, as well as their biotechnological applications. This book will be of invaluable information resource to advanced graduate students, teachers, researchers, workers of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries and other readers interested in cell biology and biotechnology with a detailed overview of the biotechnological applications of mammalian, insect and plant cells and the factors influencing cell growth and recombinant protein yield.

Carlos Tello (Valencia, Spain, 1981) studied Agricultural Engineering with specialization in Biotechnology at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, where he graduated with a BSc thesis on the characterization of an Arabidopsis mutant with increased tolerance to seed ageing and salt stress. He moved afterwards to Sevilla to complete his MSc and PhD at the Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiología, where he studied the mechanisms employed by plants in their adaptation to abiotic stress and more specifically the role of the Arabidopsis Na+/H+ antiporter SOS1 in the regulation of Na+ and K+ homeostasis. Since 2014, he is based in Zürich and develops several freelance science-related jobs. He has recently retrained himself in the field of cell culture in bioreactors by attending an advanced training course at the Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften.
