First published in 1997, this new edition of Principles of Tissue Engineering is the widely recognized definitive resource in the field. It provides the most complete summary of basic concepts and applications in the biology and design of tissues and organs, emphasizing state-of-the-art approaches to the treatment of human disease. The expert authors reflect the multi-disciplinary nature of the field, which draws upon biology, chemistry, materials science, and engineering principles, and emphasize topics based on their likely clinical impact. * Organized into more than twenty parts that cover the basics of tissue growth and development, approaches to tissue and organ design, and a summary of current knowledge by organ system* Includes new chapters on biomaterial-protein interactions, nanocomposite and three-dimensional scaffolds, skin substitutes, spinal cord, vision enhancement, and heart valves* Offers expanded coverage of adult and embryonic stem cells of the cardiovascular, hematopoietic, musculoskeletal, nervous, and other organ systems* Full color presentation throughout
