Description
This comprehensive work discusses novel biomolecular surfaces that have been engineered to either control or measure cell function at
the atomic, molecular, and cellular levels. Each chapter presents real results, concepts, and expert perspectives of how cells interact
with biomolecular surfaces, with particular emphasis on interactions within complex mechanical environments such as in the cardiovascular
system. In addition, the book provides detailed coverage of inflammation and cellular immune response as a useful model for how engineering
concepts and tools may be effectively applied to complex systems in biomedicine.
Audience:
Biomedical engineers, cell and molecular biologists, and graduate students in cell and tissue engineering
