Historical Glossary

The Historical Glossary on the following pages refers to Refs. [1-3, 9, 10, 12, 73-83]. No comprehensive description of the history of organometallic chemistry is available as yet. A first review article was published in 1975 by Thayer [69],... 

The April 1988 issue of the Journal of Chemical Education contains a number of articles on polymers including a historical review enti tied Polymers Are Everywhere (pp 327-334) and a glossary of terms (pp 314-319)... 

In some of the chapters the reader will come across terms highlighted in bold type. This is an indication that these are important concepts and is usually a sign that there is an entry in the glossary. An exception is Chapter 2, where I have also highlighted the names of important historical figures. 

It is not within the scope of this article to present a treatise on the inception and evolution of the science (or art) of cell (or tissue) culture. Any pretext of a historical review would undoubtedly preclude what some consider important contributors. The purpose of this article is to review a portion of the experimental advances and allow the reader to establish a relative time frame and assessment to the development of culture techniques as they exist today. It also summarizes the nutritional applications of various cell culture components and provides a glossary to attempt standardization of m vitro culture terminology.
