How to successfully circumvent human disease? How to efficaciously treat human
disease? How to healthily live to a decent age? These problems have baffled our
ancestors for a few centuries. People have attempted to address these puzzled
problems since recorded time, but the answers are often disruptive and even
unreliable in part due to the modification or alteration of medical principles in every
history era. Over the past decades, comprehensive and systematic scientific researches
in cell biology and molecular biology have accelerated the evolution of traditional
medicine. Scientists are now able to investigate these problems on the basis of
molecular levels. Thus, the purpose of this book is to interpret clinical and
fundamental medical findings through the lens of 21st-century biomedicine. The
contents of this book provide readers with a broad spectrum of basic biomedical
understanding dealing with regenerative medicine, gene medicine, and medical
devices.
Biomedicine can be divided into four sections: regenerative medicine in Chapter 1 and
2; gene medicine and nanobiomedicine in Chapter 3 to 5; biomedical device
performance in Chapter 6 and 7; and public perception of medicine in Chapter 8. Each
chapter is intently chosen and written by invited experts or physicians from
professional biomedical field, to address hot issues related with contemporary
biomedical science. Additionally, the core concepts in each chapter are highlighted
and the authors wish readers to grasp them smoothly through readily readable
schemes and colourful illustrations. The reference lists also comprise state-of-the-art
reviews, relevant research articles, proceedings in frontier conferences, which are
certainly helpful to beginners for further learning.
