Developments in tissue engineering for human medicine are
increasing rapidly. Advances in stem cell biology, biomaterials
science and scaffold design underpin this emerging science. An
equally important facet of this field is the rational design and
operation of bioreactors to control the nascent tissue growth. For
the first time in a single volume, the design, characterisation and
operation of the bioreactor system in which the tissue is grown is
detailed.
Bioreactors for Tissue Engineering presents an overall picture
of the current state of knowledge in the engineering of bioreactors
for several tissue types (bone, cartilage, vascular), addresses the
issue of mechanical conditioning of the tissue, and describes the
use of techniques such as MRI for monitoring tissue growth.
This unique volume is dedicated to the fundamentals and
application of bioreactor technology to tissue engineering
products. Not only will it appeal to graduate students and
experienced researchers in tissue engineering and regenerative
medicine, but also to tissue engineers and culture technologists,
academic and industrial chemical engineers, biochemical engineers
and cell biologists who wish to understand the criteria used to
design and develop novel systems for tissue growth in vitro.
