Nanoparticles have a physical dimension comparable to the size of molecular structures on the cell surface. Therefore, nanoparticles are considered to behave differently than larger particles when they interact with cells. This book describes the sequence of events that airborne nanoparticles encounter in the lungs when they move from air to the bloodstream. This includes deposition, events occurring on the alveolar surface (retention and clearance, and interaction with surfactant and with alveolar lining fluid), crossing the air–blood tissue barrier, and finally getting into the bloodstream.

Edited by
Tribikram Kundu The University of Arizona, Tucson, USA
"The book comprises an essential reference for researchers and graduate students working in ultrasonic or electromagnetic NDE. The different chapters contributed by recognized experts in the field cover both fundamental theory as well as current research areas." —Dr. Paul Fromme, University College London, UK
"Professor Kundu is to be congratulated for bringing together this list of experts, each with many years of experience, as contributors to this much-needed book. The book provides a comprehensive and rigorous approach of the fundamentals of linear and nonlinear ultrasonics and electromagnetic methods, including a chapter on the newly emerging THz technique. The book also provides enough advanced engineering and biological applications to make the reader familiar with these technologies, including applications of guided waves, nonlinear ultrasonics, laser-ultrasonics, acoustic microscopy, and fiber optics.” —Henrique Reis, Department of Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering, University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, USA
Regenerative engineering is the intersection of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Regenerative medicine focuses on the biological aspects of tissue regeneration via stem cells, factors, and cytokines, while tissue engineering focuses on the integration of materials science and life sciences. This book integrates these two areas, presenting each concept in the framework of regenerative engineering. Through the combination of fundamental lecture-based teaching and problem-based learning approaches, it is the goal of this textbook to develop students into future researchers capable of completing the translation of their work from the benchtop to the bedside. • Addresses both tissue engineering and regenerative medicine • Synergizes the fields of tissue engineering, materials science, and regenerative medicine • Guides the reader in research based on clinically relevant issues using a problem-based learning approach • Includes examples, case studies, and extensive references A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption

Introduction to Biomedical Engineering Technology Second Edition
Mel I. Mendelson
Laurence Street
Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA
Rosedale, British Colombia, Canada
"… a great combination of two key disciplines in the coming quarter of this century, biotechnology and nanotechnology. This will be a good guidebook for the academic adventure as well as a bible for the pioneer in the engineering and scientific field."
Thoroughly revised and updated, this second edition describes current technological devices, the physiological and anatomical basis of their function, their practical applications, and their common locations in hospitals. Written by an experienced biomedical engineering technologist, the text discusses tools and test equipment, examines the integration of equipment within the hospital system, and presents an overview of various kinds of hardware related to medical equipment. Throughout, this accessible book incorporates real-life examples of the work that biomedical engineering technologists do, preparing students for situations they will encounter on the job.
—Hideyuki Kanematsu, Suzuka National College of Technology
"… provides an excellent, multi-dimensional approach to learning that I have not seen in other nanotechnology textbooks. … I really like the multitude of ways the author has the students think about the material through problems, group activities, thinking exercises, etc." —Kory Goldammer, Richland College
A primary text for undergraduate nanotechnology courses, this book is designed for students who lack a cross-disciplinary background and knowledge of micro- and nanotechnology. Clearly and concisely written, it contains many examples, questions, and problems divided into three hierarchical learning skills: understanding, analyzing, and evaluating the concepts. The author attempts to break down the boundaries between biology, chemistry, physics, engineering and ethics. He accomplishes this by co-mingling the vocabulary and concepts of these disciplines around bio-applications. Copiously illustrated, this new text leans heavily towards biological and biomedical applications and includes a comprehensive chapter on ethics.
