Book description
This new book explores clinical information in the tissue
transplantation field and acts as a comprehensive learning tool to
comply with regulatory requirements. Broad in scope, coverage includes
all the traditionally transplanted tissues and moves into more complex
areas of tissue grafting and the assisted reproduction fields. This
useful text focuses on the potential for disease transmission, ways to
improve safety, and the role of the clinician in these safety aspects.
The book starts off by describing non-surgical risks of using allografts
and moves onto chapters devoted completely to tissue- or cell-specific
issues relating to transplantation of the individual types of tissues or cells.
Tissue and Cell Clinical Use: An Essential Guide is the final
book in a series which covers all aspects of tissue banking, donation,
processing, and transplantation. Each book in the series includes
lists of learning points and case studies which consist of sample
processing protocols, descriptions of where processing went wrong,
sample risk assessments, or validation studies. This three book series
covers all you need to know about tissue banking.
