Biomedical Microsystems Ellis Meng University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA
Poised to dramatically impact human health, biomedical microsystems (bioMEMS) technologies incorporate various aspects from materials science, biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, and engineering. Reflecting the highly interdisciplinary nature of this area, Biomedical Microsystems covers the fundamentals of miniaturization, biomaterials, microfabrication, and nanotechnology, along with relevant applications. Written by an active researcher who was recently named one of Technology Review’s Young Innovators Under 35, Biomedical Microsystems focuses on the integration of multiple modalities in miniaturized devices for use in fundamental scientific research, biomedical diagnostics, and therapy. The author introduces materials, fabrication technology, and the necessary components of bioMEM, and covers fundamental principles and building blocks, including microfluidic concepts, lab-on-a-chip systems, and sensing and detection methods. The final chapters explore several important applications of bioMEMS, such as microdialysis, catheter-based sensors, MEMS implants, neural probes, and tissue engineering. Detailed examples, exercises, and illustrations help elucidate the concepts. For readers with a limited background in MEMS and bioMEMS, this book provides a practical introduction to the technology used to make these devices, the principles that govern their operation, and examples of their application. It offers a starting point for understanding advanced topics and encourages readers to begin to formulate their own ideas about the design of novel bioMEMS.

Microtissue Engineering for High Throughput Screening William S. Kisaalita University of Georgia, Athens, USA
Advances in genomics and combinatorial chemistry during the past two decades inspired innovative technologies and changes in the discovery and pre-clinical development paradigm with the goal of accelerating the process of bringing therapeutic drugs to market. Written by William Kisaalita, one of the foremost experts in this emerging field, 3D Cell-Based Biosensors in Drug Discovery Programs: Microtissue Engineering for High Throughput Screening provides the latest information — from theory to practice — on challenges and opportunities for incorporating 3D cell-based biosensors or assays in drug discovery programs. Dr. Kisaalita presents evidence in support of embracing 3D cell-based systems for widespread use in drug discovery programs. He goes to the root of the issue, establishing the 3D cell-based biosensor physiological relevance by comparing 2D and 3D culture from genomic to functional levels. He then assembles the bioengineering principles behind successful 3D cell-based biosensor systems. Kisaalita also addresses the challenges and opportunities for incorporating 3D cell-based biosensors or cultures in current discovery and pre-clinical development programs.

Macroporous polymers are rapidly becoming the material of choice for many tissue engineering, bioseparation, and bioprocessing applications. However, while important information is scattered about in many different publications, none, to date, have drawn this information together in user-friendly format. Until now. Meeting the need for an accessible, organized resource, Macroporous Polymers: Production Properties and Biotechnological/Biomedical Applications supplies a systematic presentation of the production, characterization, and application of these polymers. The editors bring together different viewpoints, summarize state-of-theart achievement, and cover applications in biotechnology, downstream processing, and biomedicine. They have collected the latest research and molded it into a cohesive reference, closing the gap between macromolecular design and production of these gels/polymers and their possible applications. The text discusses traditional methods of production, including phase separation polymerization, leaching, foaming, and double emulsion as well as newly merging methods such as cryogelation. The chapters also detail the various applications of macroporous gels for the separation of biomolecules and for the cultivation of mammalian cells in bioreactors and for tissue engineering. The book underscores existing and potential problems while providing a solid background on which to base the evaluation of the scientific and commercial value of new developments.

“The alphabetization of chemical names and plenty of entries offer completely extensive information of aqueous solubility data expediently… suitable for the researchers in the fields of chemistry and related areas.” —Carbohydrate Polymers
“… an indispensable reference for workers in many scientific fields” —Chromatographia
“The authors have done an excellent job of compiling this information. … This is a valuable handbook for any scientific laboratory that has to dissolve organic compounds into aqueous solutions. This type of information is often difficult to find so it is nice to have so many compounds listed in a single source.” —Thomas L. Pazdernik, Ph.D., University of Kansas Medical Center
The second edition of this landmark volume continues the tradition of providing an extensive compilation of published aqueous solubility data for a wide variety of organic nonelectrolytes and unionized weak electrolytes. It adds 2000 new solubility values, bringing the total count to over 18,000 data points for more than 4000 organic compounds. It includes data for pharmaceuticals, pollutants, nutrients, herbicides, pesticides, and agricultural, industrial, and energy-related compounds. Each compound is identified by a sequential number along with molecular formula, compound name, synonyms, molecular weight, CASR number, melting point, and boiling point if available.
“… The book is a very valuable source for specialists interested in various aspects of proteins — from physicians to biochemists, molecular biologists, geneticists, and biotechnologists. There is no doubt that this book will be very useful for medical schools and universities students and their teachers.” —G. Y. Wiederschain, Doctor of Biological Sciences, writing in Biochemistry (Moscow), Vol. 75, No. 6.
Relying upon his broad view of biotechnology, pioneering protein scientist Roger Lundblad draws from both traditional protein science and proteomics to include a great deal of material not found in electronic format. This volume explores key contributions that protein scientists can make in the development of products that are both important and commercially viable, and provides them with tools and information required for successful participation. The book explores the application of protein science for producing products as diverse as adhesives, drug delivery systems, and quality food products. The author includes chapters on the use of classical protein chemistry in food, the protein and carbohydrate chemistry of adhesives, glues, and sealants, protein chemistry and hydrogels, and the use of chemical modification to prepare protein therapeutics. While demonstrating current uses and development of biotech applications, Dr. Lundblad makes a point to separate what is truly new from that which has merely been renamed.
