Dear reader, In the past few years we have observed an interesting mutual interest of two fields of research and development in each other.

The development of materials for any replacement or regeneration application should be based on the thorough understanding of the structure to be substituted.

The 18th ESACT meeting was celebrated in Granada (Spain) in May 2003, and was entitled "e;Animal Cell Technology Meets Genomics"e;, in order to reflect that the emerging technologies in the area of genomics, proteomics and other "e;-omics"e;-type disciplines will provide key technological assets to increase knowledge and open new horizons in animal cell technology.

A critical assessment of state-of-the-art of emerging ("e;breakthrough"e;) biosensor technologies that will allow for the rapid identification of biological threat agents in the environment and human population.

Cell immobilisation biotechnology is a multidisciplinary area, shown to have an important impact on many scientific subdisciplines - including biomedicine, pharmacology, cosmetology, food and agricultural sciences, beverage production, industrial waste treatment, analytical applications, biologics production.

Cereals make an important component of daily diet of a major section of human population, so that their survival mainly depends on the cereal grain production, which should match the burgeoning human population.

A biofilm is a collection of microbial cells that have adhered to biotic surfaces such as plant cuticles or animal epithelia, as well as abiotic surfaces such as rocky substratum or catheter exteriors.

This book provides an accessible introduction to the principles and tools for modeling, analyzing, and synthesizing biomolecular systems.

Harnessing evolution for more sustainable agricultureAs human populations grow and resources are depleted, agriculture will need to use land, water, and other resources more efficiently and without sacrificing long-term sustainability.
