“Dr Aziz Nather, zealous teacher of tissue banking and associate professor of orthopaedic surgery has prepared the book very carefully. Chapters are logically and elegantly arranged to give readers absolutely step by step information on the biological basis of ‘how to bank tissues’, with the clear scientific explanation of the properties of different tissues in the background and with the goal to improve the results of transplantation. This book can serve as an excellent textbook for medical students, tissue bankers and tissue transplantologists. It should be in every medical library and tissue bank.”
