The book covers the whole breadth of this dynamic field, including classical microfabrication, microfluidics, tissue engineering, cell-based and noncell-based devices, and implantable systems. It focuses on high-impact, creative work encompassing all the scales of life--from biomolecules to cells, tissues, and organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrilliant color presentation\u003c\/em\u003eAvoiding the overwhelming details found in many engineering and physics texts, this groundbreaking book--in color throughout--includes only the most essential formulas as well as many noncalculation-based exercises. Important terms are highlighted in bold and defined in a glossary. The text contains more than 400 color figures, most of which are from the original researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCoverage of both historical perspectives and the latest developments\u003c\/em\u003eDeveloped from the author's long-running course, this classroom-tested text gives readers a vivid picture of how the field has grown by presenting historical perspectives and a timeline of seminal discoveries. It also describes numerous state-of-the-art biomedical applications that benefit from \"going small,\" including devices that record the electrical activity of brain cells, measure the diffusion of molecules in microfluidic channels, and allow for high-throughput studies of gene expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Folch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439818398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439818398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Albert Folch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43935007211775,"sku":"9781439818398","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3c311e65-c82e-45b1-956d-cfe04144846b.jpg?v=1681417311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-biomems-albert-folch-9781439818398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
