Summary:

The use of micro / nanotechnology in cells and tissue engineering, and especially for cells and tissue preservation, is at the peak of its activity now, with scientific output expected to continue growing in the coming years. Micro and nanotechnologies have induced paradigm shifts in many scientific fields and as featured in this edited volume, they have an important impact in the field of cryomedicine. The book gives an overview of the recent progress in implementing multiscale (micro and nanoscale) technologies to improve the outcome of various cryomedical applications including cryosurgery, cryopreservation, lyopreservation and to understand the fundamental engineering and science underpinning the applications. This is the first book that will provide both an introductory and in-depth account of applying the multiscale technologies in cryomedicine. Book jacket.
