Sinopsis

This work brings together leading researchers in tissue engineering and stem cell research, as well as the opinions of venture capitalists and a contribution from the UK Stem Cell bank, to highlight the cross-fertilization between research in stem cell signaling and work on intrinsic tissue regeneration in health and disease. The vital contribution to the field of imaging technologies is also emphasized. Coverage ranges from the basic science of stem cells and biomaterials, to clinical applications, policy issues, the regulatory environment, and the commercial sector. Chapters are in sections on the part, present, and future of tissue engineering, cells for tissue engineering, materials, non-invasive methods to monitor tissue re-modeling, the biotechnology sector, tissue engineering products, tissue repair, and cardiac, osteoarticular, and lung repair. Color and b&w images are included. Polak is affiliated with the Department of Chemical Engineering, Tissue Engineering, and Regenerative Medicine at Imperial College London.

Reseña del editor

Advances in Tissue Engineering is a unique volume and the first of its kind to bring together leading names in the field of tissue engineering and stem cell research. A relatively young science, tissue engineering can be seen in both scientific and sociological contexts and successes in the field are now leading to clinical reality. This book attempts to define the path from basic science to practical application. A contribution from the UK Stem Cell Bank and opinions of venture capitalists offer a variety of viewpoints, and exciting new areas of stem cell biology are highlighted. With over fifty stellar contributors, this book presents the most up-to-date information in this very topical and exciting field.
