Principles of Tissue Engineering: The Definitive Resource for Over a Decade

Now in its fifth edition, Principles of Tissue Engineering has been the go-to resource in the field for more than 10 years. This updated edition provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly progressing field, combining the essential knowledge of tissue growth and development, the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and organs, and expert insights into each specific organ system.

A Balance of Interdisciplinary Subjects

This book strikes a balance between the diversity of subjects related to tissue engineering, including biology, chemistry, material science, and engineering, while emphasizing those research areas that are likely to have significant clinical value in the future.

Stem Cell Biology and Emerging Technologies

This edition features a greatly expanded focus on stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, stem cell niches, and blood components from stem cells. This research has already led to breakthroughs in disease modeling, toxicity testing, drug development, and clinical therapies. Additionally, the book covers the application of tissue-engineering techniques for food production.

Clinical Experience and Emerging Technologies

New and updated chapters on recent clinical experience in applying tissue engineering, as well as a new section on emerging technologies in the field, provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the latest developments in tissue engineering.

Organization and Features

The book is organized into 23 parts, covering the basics of tissue growth and development, approaches to tissue and organ design, and a summary of current knowledge by organ system. The full-color presentation throughout the book enhances the learning experience.

Key Features:

• New section and chapters on emerging technologies in the field
