Regenerative medicine includes cellular therapy and tissue engineering. In general, the former treats patients by cell infusion alone, while tissue engineering needs biomaterials and growth factors in addition to cells. Biomaterials function in tissue engineering as the scaffold or template for cells to proliferate, differentiate, and produce matrices. \u003ci\u003eTissue Engineering \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on the fundamentals (biomaterials, scaffolds, cell cultures, bioreactors, animal models etc.), recent animal and human trials, and future prospects regarding tissue engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlmost twenty years have passed since the advent of the tissue engineering, whicht uses cells, scaffolds, and growth factors for regeneration of neotissues. The number of investigations on tissue engineering is still increasing tremendously. Nevertheless, it seems likely that the number of reports describing clinical trials of tissue engineering will remain very limited. Even the studies that apply tissue engineering research to large animals have not been performed yet on a large scale. The major objective of this book is to address this question from a science and technology point of view, and to describe the principles of basic technologies that have currently been developed by numerous research groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshito Ikada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0123705827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780123705822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.78h x 6.70w x 1.16d","brand":"Yoshito Ikada","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47135220367615,"sku":"9780123705822","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef8b1fd3-c451-486b-b1ce-8cad714cfd18.jpg?v=1755009490","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tissue-engineering-yoshito-ikada-9780123705822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
