Description

This book is designed as a basic textbook to serve the entire TERM student and trainee community, irrespective of which major contributing discipline they come from. It is aimed at students and trainees in TERM from undergraduate and masters to doctoral and post doctoral research levels. These may be dedicated TERM scholars or those in the major component disciplines of TERM (i.e. cell, stem cell and developmental biology, tissue repair, implantology and surgical sciences, biomaterials sciences and nanobiomedicine, bioengineering, bio-processing and monitoring technologies).

The purpose of 'Extreme Tissue Engineering' is to act as the first, first-primer to allow one to understand, select out and place into context the mass of scientific (multi-disciplinary) data which currently is flooding the field. This formula is designed to provide interdisciplinary, ground-up explanations in a digestible, entertaining way. The aim is to produce a text which ALL students of TERM can draw on to the same extent; which is not based in, coming from or aimed (however subtly) at one of the core component specialties.

Extreme Tissue Engineering is written in a fluid, entertaining style. It is introductory yet challenging, richly illustrated and truly interdisciplinary.
