Beschreibung:
This brilliant synthesis summarizes all of the recent accomplishments - as well as the ongoing research - in the field of composite tissue transplantation. It includes sections on hand transplantation and vascularized bone marrow transplantation. The volume focuses on immunology and the biotechnology/bioengineering aspects of transplantation surgery, as those two areas have demonstrated the most growth within the last five years in terms of current research.
Represents the most up-to-date research on a new and emerging field of biomedical research that has exploded in recent years
