About this title

Synopsis:

Tissue engineering is a rapidly growing area of biomedical research with obvious commercial applications. This is a comprehensive, definitive text-reference which will become the benchmark in this area. Principles in Tissue Engineering strikes a balance among the diversity of subjects that are related to tissue engineering, including biology, chemistry, material science, engineering, immunology, and transplantation, while emphasizing those research areas that are likely to be of the most value to medicine in the future.

This book represents the combined intellect of almost 100 scholars and clinicians who's pioneering work has been instrumental to ushering in this fascinating and important field.
Key Features

* Coverage is comprehensive yet succinct
* Emphasizes research areas that are likely to be of the most value to medicine in the future
* Topics covered include biology, chemistry, material science, engineering, immunology, and transplantation aspects of tissue engineering

From the Back Cover:

The first edition of Principles of Tissue Engineering, published in 1997, was rapidly recognized as the definitive reference in the field. Since that time, the discipline has grown tremendously, and few experts could have predicted the explosion in the knowledge of gene expression, cell growth and differentiation, the variety of stem cells and new polymers, or even the successful introduction of the first tissue-engineered products into the marketplace. Principles of Tissue Engineering, Second Edition defines and captures the evolution of this fascinating and exciting field. This comprehensive reference covers the prerequisites for a general understanding of tissue growth and development, the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and organs, and the applications of tissue engineering to diseases affecting organ systems.
Key Features
* Essential to anyone working in the field
* Vast, detailed analysis of research with all of the major systems of the human body, e.g., skin, muscle, cardiovascular, hematopoietic, and nerves
* Contributions by leaders in the latest areas of research, such as fetal tissue engineering and stem cells
