Fundamentals of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine

‘Fundamentals of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine’ provides a complete overview of the state of the art in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering has grown tremendously during the past decade. Advances in genetic medicine and stem cell technology have significantly improved the potential to influence cell and tissue performance, and have recently expanded the field towards regenerative medicine. In recent years a number of approaches have been used routinely in daily clinical practice, others have beenintroduced in clinical studies, and multitudes are in the preclinical testingphase. Because of these developments, there is a need to provide comprehensive and detailed information for researchers and clinicians on this rapidly expanding field. This book offers, in a single volume, the prerequisites of a comprehensive understanding of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine Timelypublication in one of the fastest groving fields of medicine Methodological as well as medical discipline oriented approach Of interest for physicians in virtually all medicine disciplines INDICE: General aspects: General and ethical aspects. Biological considerations: Tissue and organ differentiation. Engineering strategies: Engineering at the genetic and molecular level.- Engineering at the cellular level.- Engineering at the tissue level.- Engineering at the organ level. Technical aspects:Biomaterial related aspects.- Scaffold related aspects.- Laboratory aspects and Bioreactor use.
