Methods of Tissue Engineering

About this book

This book will be a resource for the experienced tissue engineer a starting point for the student and a guidebook for the next generation of tissue engineers. Contained in one volume is a comprehensive reference that combines the tools experimental protocols detailed descriptions and "know-how" for the successful engineering of tissues and organs. The practical information contained in the numerous protocols covers every area of tissue engineering and will prove essential to scientists working in this field. Contributions by leaders in the latest areas of research will also be of interest to biotechnological and pharmaceutical researchers. Provides comprehensive protocols covering every area of tissue engineering including polymer synthesis cell culture encapsulation bioreactors therapeutics and the creation of tissues and organs Includes contributions by leaders in the latest areas of research such as stem cells and fetal tissue engineering
