Preface
Aparadigmshiftistakinginraisingstandardsonallaspectsoftissuebankingfrom
procurementtoprocessing,fromstoragetoclinicalusage.Anumberofmonographs
haveappearedgivingguidanceonGMPandqualitysystemsthatshouldbeadhered
to. There are also good guidelines on the significance of the new regulations that
havebeenenacted.
However there is a significant lack of information on the scientific basis and
rationaleonwhytissuebankingpracticeshavedevelopedthewaytheyhave.Many
of them have developed without much validation and have been in use for many
years, copied from one tissue bank to another. There are some good articles on
somescientificaspectsoftissuebankingpractices,buttheyareinrelativelyoldand
in somewhat obscure journals. This book is intended to fill this gap by getting a
seriesofeminentexpertstoeachwriteachapterortwoonuptodatetissuebanking
practices.
Moreover in the modern world of tissue banking, safety and quality of tissues
havetakenanincreasinglyimportantrole.Infacttheseactivitiesformthebasisof
many licensure activities that relate to tissue establishments. An attempt has been
madetocovertheseaspectsaswell.
Althoughthelegislationcoversalltypesofcells,includingstemcells,theyhave
beendeliberatelyomitted.Thetargetaudiencesforstemcellsaredifferentandthe
set up is also generally quite different unlike cord blood, which is very similar to
tissuesandthereforeincluded.
Inordertolimitthesizeofthebooktoamanageableleveltheauthorshavebeen
onlyaskedtocoverthebasisofcurrentpractices,ratherthanfuturedevelopments,
such as embryonic cell developments, tissue engineering and gene therapy, which
are more cellular therapies than tissue banking, per se. Courses conferring certifi-
catesanddiplomashavejuststartedtobeprovidedbyvariousprofessionalbodies.
