Principles of Tissue Engineering-5판

Now in its fifth edition, Principles of Tissue Engineering has been the definite resource in the field of tissue engineering
for more than a decade. The fifth edition provides an update on this rapidly progressing field, combining the prerequisites
for
a general understanding of tissue growth and development, the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and
organs, as well as a presentation by the world뭩 experts of what is currently known about each specific organ system.

As in previous editions, this book creates a comprehensive work that strikes a balance among the diversity of subjects that
are
related to tissue engineering, including biology, chemistry, material science, and engineering, among others, while also
emphasizing those research areas that are likely to be of clinical value in the future.

This edition includes greatly expanded focus on stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, stem cell
niches,
and blood components from stem cells. This research has already produced applications in
disease modeling, toxicity testing, drug development, and clinical therapies. This up-to-date coverage of stem cell biology
and
the application of tissue-engineering techniques for food production ?is complemented by a series of new and updated
chapters
on recent clinical experience in applying tissue engineering, as well as a new section on the emerging technologies in the
field.
