Synopsis

Tissue engineering is a field that uses the principles of engineering, material methods and suitable biochemical and physiochemical factors in combination of cells to improve or replace biological tissues. It is related to applications that repair or replace whole tissues or a portion of tissues such as bone, cartilage, blood vessels, bladder and skin. It involves the use of a tissue scaffold for a medical purpose which helps in the formation of new viable tissue. It also uses living cells as engineering materials, for example in skin repair or replacement, it utilizes living fibroblasts, cartilage repaired with living chondrocytes, etc. It also aims to perform some biochemical functions using cells within an artificially-created support system such as the artificial pancreas or bio artificial liver. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of tissue engineering. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
