Tissue Culture in Science and Society sheds new light on the biological technique known as 'tissue culture', showing how it featured regularly in British newspapers, magazines and novels, and appeared in cinema and on television throughout the twentieth century. It details how tissue culture was given meaning thanks to interplay between scientific and cultural concerns, including the modernist reappraisal of lifespan, the body and reproduction, postwar enthusiasm for 'magic bullets' and more recent discussion of patient rights. By highlighting this interaction, and charting tissue culture's history through to the present day, Wilson provides much needed context and balance for current debates.
