Biotechnology and its Applications: Using Cells to Change the World, 2nd Edition provides a modern, robust, yet highly readable applications-oriented introduction to biotechnology. Sections cover basic science, introduce cells, demonstrate the biotechnological application of scientific principles in the laboratory, and present biotechnologies “in the real world.” Examples include recombinant proteins available to millions of patients, plants that have been engineered to produce food for people around the world, and regenerative medicine that may someday allow patients to receive organs that have been grown from their own cells. The updated edition includes new chapters on gene editing, bioremediation, vaccines and immunotherapy, and processing and manufacturing.
