Nano-biomedical engineering 2009: Proceedings of the Tohoku University Global Centre of Excellence Programme, Sendai International Centre, Sendai, Japan 27 – 28 March 2009

This proceedings volume details both current and future research and development initiatives in nano-biomedical engineering, arguably the most important technology of the world in the 21st century. It deals with the following four groups of nano-biomedical engineering: nano-biomechanics, nano-bioimaging, nano-biodevices, and nano-biointervention. Consisting of a compilation of studies conducted by group members of the Tohoku University Global Center of ExcellenceProgram, with specially coordinated funding from the Japanese Government, thepapers emphasize the integration of research and education collaboration between engineering and medicine, and showcase Japan's top-level research in the field of nano-biomedical engineering. INDICE: Inner Ear Biomechanics (H Wada et al.); Development of an in vitroTracking System for Catheter Motion (M Ohta et al.); Elasticity-Based Tissue Characterization of Arterial Wall (H Hasegawa et al.); Development of a New Positron Emission Mammography (PEM); Passive Intelligent Walker Controlled by Servo Breaks (Y Hirata et al.); Miniaturized Microfluidic Biofuel Cells (M Nishizawa); Development of a Tactile Sensor for Evaluation of Detergents (D Tsuchimi & M Tanaka); On-Chip Cell Manipulation with Magnetically Driven Microtools (F Arai & Y Yamanishi); Pulse Diagnosis Machine and Autogenic Training (T Yambe); and other papers.
