Produktbeschreibung

The idea of publishing this book on "Bioengineering in Cell and Tissue Research" was originated by Gerhard M. Artmann, with the goal of writing about our dreams and making the reader dream with the authors and be fascinated. The book is meant to have life and spirit, and to become a pioneer in technology and sciences, es- cially the life science. The chapters in this book are written by excellent scientists on advanced, frontier technology and address scienti?c questions that need consid- able thinking in terms of engineering. The aims are to provide the readers, including students, faculty, and all scientists working in academia and industry, new infor- tion on bioengineering in cell and tissue research to enhance their understanding and innovation. This book is composed of six sections that cover a broad hierarchy from genes to the universe. These sections are Genes, Genome and Information Network; Cell and Tissue Imaging; Regenerative Medicine and Nanoengineering; Mechanics ofSoft Tissues, Fluids and Molecules; Bioengineering in Clinical Applications; and Plant and Microbial Bioengineering.
