Overview

"Here are the latest developments in a field undergoing a series of important advances, presented by the man many consider to be the ""father of tissue engineering."" Dr. Bell has gathered some of the world's top molecular and cell biologists from industry and academia to cover the following areas: Matrix molecules and their ligands; use of cultured cells and the potential of stem cells for tissue restoration; co-cultures and other in vitro systems for promoting differentiation and tissue formation; physical forces as requirements for gene expression, growth, morphogenesis, and differentiation; and materials for tissue remodelling in vivo and in Vitro. In addition, artificial tissues for major organ systems are described, including skin, muscle, liver, heart, the central nervous system, and others. This is essential reading for all biomedical researchers and clinicians interested in the great potential of tissue engineering techniques for treating many human injuries, diseases, and genetic disorders."
