This book charts the social and cultural history of the scientific technique known as 'tissue culture'. It shows how tissue culture was a regular public presence in twentieth-century Britain, and argues that history can contribute to current debates surrounding research on human and animal tissue.
"This is a widely significant and ambitious volume notwithstanding
its small size and seemingly esoteric subject matter...The book joins a small but
important literature that deals with the space shared
between laboratory scientists with their disciplinary
concerns and the wider public sphere." - Robert Budd, American Historical Review
