"Fundamentals of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine"
provides a complete overview of the state of the art in tissue
engineering and regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering has grown
tremendously during the past decade. Advances in genetic medicine and
stem cell technology have significantly improved the potential to
influence cell and tissue performance, and have recently expanded the
field towards regenerative medicine. In recent years a number of
approaches have been used routinely in daily clinical practice,
others have been introduced in clinical studies, and multitudes are
in the preclinical testing phase. Because of these developments,
there is a need to provide comprehensive and detailed information for
researchers and clinicians on this rapidly expanding field. This book
offers, in a single volume, the prerequisites of a comprehensive
understanding of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The
book is conceptualized according to a didactic approach (general
aspects: social, economic, and ethical considerations; basic
biological aspects of regenerative medicine: stem cell medicine,
biomolecules, genetic engineering; classic methods of tissue
engineering: cell, tissue, organ culture; biotechnological issues:
scaffolds; bioreactors, laboratory work; and an extended medical
discipline oriented approach: review of clinical use in the various
medical specialties). The content of the book, written in 68 chapters
by the world’s leading research and clinical specialists in their
discipline, represents therefore the recent intellect, experience,
and state of this bio-medical field.
