Micro- and Nanoengineering of the Cell Microenvironment: Technologies and Applications
Foreword by Robert S. Langer, edited by Ali Khademhosseini, Jeffrey Borenstein, Mehmet Toner and Suichi Takayama. This groundbreaking work shows how microfabrication and material synthesis techniques are paving the way to dramatic breakthroughs in areas ranging from in vitro fertilization to artificial skin and organ tissue generation.

Biomedical Surfaces
Authored by Jeremy Ramsden, this state-of-the-art book addresses the critical design issues that arise where synthetic materials and living tissue interface. The book provides the latest performance-enhancing design, materials selection, and manufacturing guidance-including nanotechnology breakthroughs-that are ushering in a new age of biomaterial design and applications.

Translational Approaches in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Editors Jeremy Mao, Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, Antonios Mikos, and Anthony Atala brought together leading authorities in the field for this landmark book. Contributions by biologists, clinicians, engineers, entrepreneurs, regulatory experts and others make this a unique volume that addresses the need for multidisciplinary approaches to growing human tissues and organs.

Advances in Tissue Engineering
Edited by Julia Polak, Sakis Mantalaris & Sian Harding (Imperial College London, UK)
Advances in Tissue Engineering is a unique volume and the first of its kind to bring together leading names in the field of tissue engineering and stem cell research. A relatively young science, tissue engineering can be seen in both scientific and sociological contexts and successes in the field are now leading to clinical reality. This book attempts to define the path from basic science to practical application. A contribution from the UK Stem Cell Bank and opinions of venture capitalists offer a variety of viewpoints, and exciting new areas of stem cell biology are highlighted. With over fifty stellar contributors, this book presents the most up-to-date information in this very topical and exciting field.
