Extreme Tissue Engineering Concepts and Strategies for Tissue Fabrication

Highly Commended at the BMA Book Awards 2013Extreme Tissue Engineering is an engaging introduction toTissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM), allowing thereader to understand, discern and place into context the mass ofscientific, multi-disciplinary data currently flooding thefield.  It is designed to provide interdisciplinary, ground-upexplanations in a digestible, entertaining way, creating a textwhich is relevant to all students of TERM regardless of their routeinto the field.Organised into three main sections: chapters 1 to 3 introduceand explain the general problems;  chapters 4 to 6 identifyand refine how the main factors interact to create the problems andopportunities we know all too well; chapters 7 to 9 argue usthrough the ways we can use leading-edge (extreme) concepts tobuild our advanced solutions.Students and researchers in areas such as stem cell anddevelopmental biology, tissue repair, implantology and surgicalsciences, biomaterials sciences and nanobiomedicine,bioengineering, bio-processing and monitoring technologies - fromundergraduate and masters to doctoral and post-doctoral researchlevels - will find Extreme Tissue Engineering a stimulatingand inspiring text.Written in a fluid, entertaining style, Extreme TissueEngineering is introductory yet challenging, richly illustratedand truly interdisciplinary.
