Biomaterials, artificial organs and tissue engineering (PBK)
Product Description This book and collection of illustrated CD lectures summarizes how maintaining quality of life in an aging population is being achieved by the development of specialty biomaterials, devices, artificial organs, and in vitro growth of human cells as tissue engineered constructs. Following an introduction to living and man-made materials, the text discusses clinical applications of biomaterials and devices, summarizes the bioengineering principles and materials used in artificial organs, and presents the concepts and applications of tissue engineering. It concludes with the complex socio-economic factors involved in technology-based healthcare. Each chapter is supplemented with illustrated PowerPoint lectures and study questions on a CD. Reader Reviews If you want to know about biomaterials, artificial organs and tissue engineering, then this is the book for you. One is always hopeful that a new book will shed some new light in this area, but this was the best book I've ever read. On this subject. It's not really aimed at the casual reader though, as a certain amount of prior knowledge is assumed. In my opinion the co-authors, Hench and Jones, complement each other in their writing style. This is definitely a promising first book for Jones, and I look forward to reading more from him as his writing style develops further. If this is a subject that interests you then you should definitely save up, or sell your house, or a kidney, and buy this book. Comment | | (Report this)
