Tissue engineering research continues to captivate the interest of
researchers and the general public alike. Popular media outlets
like The New York Times, Time, and Wired continue to engage a wide
audience and foster excitement for the field as regenerative
medicine inches toward becoming a clinical reality. Putting the
numerous advances in the field into a broad context, Tissue
Engineering: Principles and Practices explores current thoughts on
the development of engineered tissues. With contributions from
experts and pioneers, this book begins with coverage of the
fundamentals, details the supporting technology, and then
elucidates their applications in tissue engineering. It explores
strategic directions, nanobiomaterials, biomimetics, gene therapy,
cell engineering, and more. The chapters then explore the
applications of these technologies in areas such as bone
engineering, cartilage tissue, dental tissue, vascular engineering,
and neural engineering. A comprehensive overview of major research
topics in tissue engineering, the book: Examines the properties of
stem cells, primary cells, growth factors, and extracellular matrix
as well as their impact on the development of tissue-engineered
devices Focuses upon those strategies typically incorporated into
tissue-engineered devices or utilized in their development,
including scaffolds, nanocomposites, bioreactors, drug delivery
systems, and gene therapy techniques Presents synthetic tissues and
organs that are currently under development for regenerative
medicine applications The contributing authors are a diverse group
with backgrounds in academia, clinical medicine, and industry.
Furthermore, this book includes contributions from Europe, Asia,
and North America, helping to broaden the views on the development
and application of tissue-engineered devices. The book provides a
useful reference for courses devoted to tissue engineering
fundamentals and those laboratories developing tissue-engineered
devices for regenerative medicine therapy.
