Tissue Engineering

Tissue Engineering: Current Status and Challenges bridges the gap between biomedical scientists and clinical practitioners. The work reviews the history of tissue engineering, covers the basics required for the beginner and inspires those in the field toward future research and application emerging in this fast-moving field. Written by global experts in the field for those studying and researching tissue engineering, Tissue Engineering: Current Status and Challenges starts out with a review of regenerative technologies, stem cell research and regeneration of organs. Then moves to soft tissue engineering (heart, vascular, muscle and 3D scaffolding and printing), hard tissue engineering (bone, dental myocardial and musculoskeletal) and the translational avenues in the field. The editors wrap up the volume covering regulatory issues, ethical issues and future perspectives. Introduces readers to the history and benefits of tissue engineeringIncludes coverage of new techniques and technologies, such as nanotechnology and nanoengineeringPresents concepts, ideology and theories which form the foundation for next-gen tissue engineering
