Produktbeschreibung

Cartilage is a unique body tissue that difficult to heal once damaged. Medical problems can arise from damaged cartilage in the nose, trachea, ear and knee joint. An emerging medical technology that able to solve these problems is Tissue Engineering. It simply means industry of generating human spare part' to restore the damaged tissues. This book covers step by step approach of designing an optimum growth medium for human chondrocytes (the building block to make new cartilage) to expand from thousands to millions. It should be emphasis that producing millions of chondrocytes must also maintain the well-being of the chondrocytes to make a good cartilage. Next, two distinct ways of constructing a new cartilage is also demonstrated in the book. This book should provides comprehensive knowledge and exciting information for people involve in life sciences industry; doctors in particular orthopedic and ENT surgeons; researchers, colleague and university students in biomedical engineering field; as well as public who want to know how their damaged cartilage can be fixed with this technology.
