Tissue engineering is an extremely important area. It generally
involves the use of materials and cells with the goal of trying to
understand tissue function and some day enabling virtually any
tissue or organ on the body to be made de novo. To achieve this
very important long-range objective requires research in many
areas. This book... addresses many of these important topics, and
the chapters provide a foundation for the understanding and
development of the cell-based systems needed for tissue
engineering
.
"Dr. Robert S. Langer
Institute Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from
his Foreword to this book"
