Sommario/riassunto

""This book is essential when designing, developing and studying biomedical materials.... provides an excellent review-from a patient, disease, and even genetic point of view-of materials engineering for the biomedical field. ... This well presented book strongly insists on how the materials can influence patients' needs, the ultimate drive for biomedical engineering. ...[presents an] Interesting and innovative



review from a patient focus perspective-the book emphasizes the importance of the patients, which is not often covered in other biomedical material's books.""-Fanny
