Highly Commended at the BMA Book Awards 2013
Extreme Tissue Engineering is an engaging introduction to
Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM), allowing the
reader to understand, discern and place into context the mass of
scientific, multi-disciplinary data currently flooding the
field. It is designed to provide interdisciplinary, ground-up
explanations in a digestible, entertaining way, creating a text
which is relevant to all students of TERM regardless of their route
into the field.
Organised into three main sections: chapters 1 to 3 introduce
and explain the general problems; chapters 4 to 6 identify
and refine how the main factors interact to create the problems and
opportunities we know all too well; chapters 7 to 9 argue us
through the ways we can use leading-edge (extreme) concepts to
build our advanced solutions.
Students and researchers in areas such as stem cell and
developmental biology, tissue repair, implantology and surgical
sciences, biomaterials sciences and nanobiomedicine,
bioengineering, bio-processing and monitoring technologies – from
undergraduate and masters to doctoral and post-doctoral research
levels – will find Extreme Tissue Engineering a stimulating
and inspiring text.
Written in a fluid, entertaining style, Extreme Tissue
Engineering is introductory yet challenging, richly illustrated
and truly interdisciplinary.
