Translational Approaches in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

by Jeremy J Mao, Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic, Antonios G Mikos, Anthony Antala

Overview

This groundbreaking volume is the first-ever book to focus on the translational aspect of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TE/RM). It offers a unique approach that helps bridge the gap between laboratory discovery and clinical translation/applications. This landmark book identifies the current and upcoming roadblocks in the area of scientific research and technological development of stem cells, tissue engineering, wound healing, and in vivo animal models. You find comprehensive coverage of the technological, regulatory and funding aspects of TE/RM from leading authorities in the field.

The book presents the very latest details in this cutting-edge area, covering multiple tissues, organs and systems. Key topics range from stem cells in regenerative medicine? to common and enabling approaches in TE/RM? to federal funding, industrial approaches, and regulatory mechanisms. This one-of-a-kind resource offers you an interdisciplinary blend of critical knowledge that shows how biology, engineering, and medical research have self-assembled into the growing field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

CD-ROM Included! This convenient disc contains detailed, full-color images of all the figures presented in the book.
