Macroporous polymers are rapidly becoming the material of choice for many tissue engineering, bioseparation, and bioprocessing applications. Presented in a systematic way, this book addresses the production, characterization, and application of macroporous polymers. The text considers traditional methods of production, including phase separation polymerication, leaching, foaming, and double emulstion, as well as newly merging methods such as cryogelation. With extensive references, the chapters also discuss in detail the various applications of macroporous gels for the separation of biomolecules and for the cultivation of mammalian cells in bioreactors and in tissue engineering.

Molecular Biotechnology
Principles and Practices Channarayappa
Vydehi Institute for Biotechnical Sciences, Genetics Department, Bangalore, India
Providing a strong base in this emerging and highly promising field, Molecular Biotechnology: Principles and Practice strikes a balance between two important aspects of the science: the theory of molecular biology and the experimental approach to the study of biological processes. The main feature of this book is that it covers a wide range of molecular techniques in biotechnology and is designed to be a student- and teacher-friendly textbook. Each technique is described conceptually, followed by a detailed experimental account of the steps involved. The book can also serve as reference for newcomers to the field of biotechnology. Catalog no. UN5157, ISBN: 978-1-4200-5157-5 2007, 7 x 10, 1228 pp. Suggested Price: $114.95 / £63.99
The Metabolic Pathway Engineering Handbook Two-Volume Set Christina D. Smolke
California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA
Christina Smolke, who recently developed a novel way to churn out large quantities of drugs from genetically modified brewer’s yeast, is regarded as one of the most brilliant new minds in biomedical engineering. In this handbook, she brings together pioneering scientists from dozens of disciplines to provide a complete record of accomplishment in metabolic pathway engineering. With a wealth of cutting edge research and analysis, this work also serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to add their own contributions. Organized by topic, this 3000 page reference is available as two volumes that can be purchased individually or as a set.
Fundamentals The first volume provides an overview of metabolic pathway engineering with a look towards the future. It discusses cellular metabolism, including transport processes inside the cell and energy generating reactions, as well as rare metabolic conversions. This volume also explores balances and reaction models, the regulation of metabolic pathways, and genome scale and multiscale modeling tools. It also covers developing appropriate hosts for metabolic engineering including the use of Escherichia coli, yeast, bacillus subtilis, streptomyces, filamentous fungi, and mammalian cells using cell culture. Catalog no. K10164, ISBN: 978-1-4398-0296-0 July 2009, 7 x 10, 1000 pp. Suggested Price: $159.95 / £97.00
Tool and Applications The second volume delves into evolutionary tools as well as gene expression tools for metabolic pathway engineering. It covers applications of emerging technologies, including recent research genome-wide technologies, DNA and phenotypic microarrays, and proteomics tools for experimentally determining flux through pathways. This volume also looks at emerging applications for producing fine chemicals, drugs, and alternative fuels. Catalog no. 77651, ISBN: 978-1-4200-7765-0 July 2009, 7 x 10, 1500 pp. Suggested Price: $159.95 / £97.00
