Tissue Engineering (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The ability to engineer biocompatible tissue is the hallmark of modern biomedical engineering, integrating all aspects of every sub-discipline in the field. Bringing in a diverse group of international contributors with backgrounds in academia, clinical medicine, and industry, this volume surveys advances in this relatively young area. Divided into three sections, it discusses the fundamental concepts of tissue engineering, enabling technologies, and tissue engineering applications. It examines strategies that incorporate scaffolds, nanocomposites, bioreactors, drug delivery systems, and gene therapy techniques that are being applied in regenerative medicine.
