Description for An Introduction to Tissue-biomaterial Interactions
Hardcover. Introduces the fundamental biological processes that influence these sophisticated, procedures. This text provides details about molecular-level events that happen at the tissue-implant interface and explores material, biological, and physiological consequences of these events. It emphasizes the importance of the body's wound-healing response. Num Pages: 248 pages, Ill. BIC Classification: MBG; MQW; PSF; TC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 266 x 188 x 22. Weight in Grams: 648.
An Introduction to Tissue-Biomaterial Interactions acquaints an undergraduate audience with the fundamental biological processes that influence these sophisticated, cutting-edge procedures. Chapters one through three provide more detail about the molecular-level events that happen at the tissue-implant interface, while chapters four through ten explore selected material, biological, and physiological consequences of these events. The importance of the body’s wound-healing response is emphasized throughout. Specific topics covered include:Structure and properties of biomaterials
