This book deals with bioprocess engineering, which encompasses the design and development of equipment and processes for the manufacturing of products such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, polymers and paper from biological materials. It also deals with studying various biotechnological processes used in industries for large scale production of biological products, for the optimization of yield. This work also incorporates significant treatment on biocatalysts and their applications in food industry, bioplastics production, conversion of agro waste and the importance of biotechnology...

Hydrostatic pressure is a powerful tool for study of biological systems. As a thermodynamic parameter, hydrostatic pressure has been known for a century to act on biological materials in a similar, but not identical, way to temperature. However, pressure was disregarded for a long time by biochemists mainly because the basic concepts (and the thermodynamics) focused on the chemical reactions involved and because general ideas on what pressure can add to the understanding of the behaviour...

What s the Deal with Biosimilars?

Biosimilars are gaining momentum as new protein therapeutic candidates that can help fill a vital need in the healthcare industry. The biological drugs are produced by recombinant DNA technology that allows for large-scale production and an overall reduction time in costs and development.

Part of a two-volume set that covers varying aspects of biosimilars, Biosimilars and Interchangeable Biologics: Tactical Elements explores the development and manufacturing of biosimilars and targets challenges surrounding the creation of these products. This...

This text is a substantial revision of a major reference work in nanotechnology that details many of the latest developments relating to nanotechnology in biology and medicine. Every chapter has been updated with new material that is being added in the field of molecular medicine. There are revisions within each chapter. The same world-class contributors are involved in the new edition, as well as a number of many new contributors.

Part one provides an introduction to medical devices and joining methods with further specific chapters on microwelding methods in medical components and the effects of...
