Bone and Cartilage Engineering provides a complete overview of recent
knowledge in bone and cartilage tissue engineering. It follows a
logical approach to the various aspects of extracorporal bone and
cartilage tissue engineering. The cooperation between a basic
scientist and a clinician made it possible to structure the book's
content and style according to the interdisciplinary character of the
field. The comprehensive nature of the book, including detailed
descriptions of laboratory procedures, preclinical approaches,
clinical applications, and regulatory issues, will make it an
invaluable basis for everyone working in this field. This book will
serve as a fundamental tool for basic researchers to establish or
refine tissue engineering techniques as well as for clinicians to
understand and use this modern therapeutic option.
