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.
