Beskrivning

This volume of tissue banking is the second of a series extending the interdisciplinary field. All of the authors of this book have been major contributors of scientific and medical publications in their respective specialities. There are articles covering blood transfusion; bone marrow and stem cell transplantation; immunology and the role of immunology in musculoskeletal transplantation, various aspects of cryopreservation of organs, cartilage and tendons; organ perfusion preservation; the history and long term follow-up of osteochondral allografts, both frozen and fresh; neurosurgical applications; cardiovascular applications; the use of skin and newer biological membranes for wound coverage.The book is of particular importance, in that it has been written in memory of Kenneth W Sell, MD, PhD, a pioneer and promulgator of tissue banking and transplantation. Many of the physicians, surgeons and scientists who trained under his leadership have gone on to distinguish themselves in the various aspects of transplantation. Many of them have contributed to this book, exemplifying the diversity of Dr Sell's contributions to tissue banking and transplantation.

"... is a fundamental work for specialists in tissue banking as well as for doctors engaged in surgical and non-surgical disciplines. It is beyond doubt a great contribution to this sphere of knowledge and the authors deserve due appreciation." ACTA Chirugiae Plasticae, 1999 "... This book, or more correctly this series, is highly recommended to all practitioners, nurses, scientists and administrators in the field of tissue banking ... This series should be on the shelf of every tissue bank in addition to their books of procedures and references." Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery
