Inhaltsangabe

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.
