Handbook of Intelligent Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Millions of patients suffer from end-stage organ failure or tissue loss annually and the only solution might be organ and/or tissue transplantation. To avoid poor biocompatibility–related problems and donor organ shortage however around 20 years ago a new hybridized method combining cells and biomaterials was introduced as an alternative to whole-organ and tissue transplantation for diseased failing or malfunctioning organs—regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. This handbook focuses on all aspects of intelligent scaffolds from basic science to industry to clinical applications. Its 10 parts illustrated throughout with excellent figures cover stem cell engineering research drug delivery systems nanomaterials and nanodevices and novel and natural biomaterials. The book can be used by advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students of stem cell and tissue engineering and researchers in macromolecular science ceramics metals for biomaterials nanotechnology chemistry biology and medicine especially those interested in tissue engineering stem cell engineering and regenerative medicine. | Handbook of Intelligent Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine GBP 592.99 1

Islam and Modernity The relationship between Islam and modernity has generated and rich but complex literature. While competing accounts sometimes appear incommensurable there is at least some convergence on the view that Islam and modernity reflect an unsettled encounter. For some this is self-evident because the relationship rests on contested foundational questions not least: whose modernity and which Islam? For others it is a less a theoretical and more a historical issue in so far as there has been a process underway in which Islam has proved slow in ‘catching up’. This Major Work gives space to an evolving conversation between Islam and four component parts of modernity. It has a comprehensive introduction newly written by the editor which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context. GBP 1150.00 1
