Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Functional Tissue Engineering is a useful compilation of research by contributors involved in developing tissues ... . It is not easy to extract a decent book from a conference, but the editors have done a very good job ... . it will be an invaluable source for those starting a PhD ... . I recommend it to those embarking on or already involved in engineering structural tissues. ... The chapters are well written ... . The book is clearly focused to encompass practical issues, such as the need to create appropriate biomechanical environments ... ." (Sheila MacNeil, Materials Today, July/August, 2005)
