A comprehensive reference and teaching aid on tissue
engineering--covering everything from the basics of regenerative
medicine to more advanced and forward thinking topics such as the
artificial liver, bladder, and trachea
Regenerative medicine/tissue engineering is the process of
replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues, or organs to
restore or establish normal function. It is an incredibly
progressive field of medicine that may, in the near future, help
with the shortage of life-saving organs available through donation
for transplantation.
"Introduction to Tissue Engineering: Applications and
Challenges" makes tissue engineering more accessible to
undergraduate and graduate students alike. It provides a systematic
and logical eight-step process for tissue fabrication. Specific
chapters have been dedicated to provide in-depth principles for
many of the supporting and enabling technologies during the tissue
fabrication process and include biomaterial development and
synthesis, bioreactor design, and tissue vascularization. The
tissue fabrication process is further illustrated with specific
examples for liver, bladder, and trachea. Section-coverage includes
an overall introduction of tissue engineering; enabling and
supporting technologies; clinical applications; and case studies
and future challenges.
"Introduction to Tissue Engineering: "Presents medical
applications of stem cells in tissue engineeringDeals with the
effects of chemical stimulation (growth factors and hormones)Covers
current disease pathologies and treatment options (pacemakers,
prosthesis)Explains bioengineering, design and fabrication, and
critical challenges during tissue fabricationOffers PowerPoint(R)
slides for instructorsFeatures case studies and a section on future
directions and challenges
As pioneering individuals look ahead to the possibility of
generating entire organ systems, students may turn to this text for
a comprehensive understanding and preparation for the future of
regenerative medicine.
