Biotechnology from A to Z is a guide to the terms used in the burgeoning 'biotech' field. From ADEPT (antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy) to zoonosis (infection by an organism that usually infects other species), and taking in artificial tissues, extremophiles, nutraceuticals, prosthetics, xenografts, and over 350 other terms, this book provides a concise and readable overview of a complex field. The second edition has been brought up-to-date with newly coined terms, and will be an invaluable resource for anyone wanting easy access to the jargon of biotechnology.
