Tissue Engineering: From Cell Biology to Artificial Organs

By Will W. Minuth, Karl Schumacher, Raimund Strehl

Comprehensive in scope and illustrated in detail, this practical book provides a fundamental insight into the complex world of tissue engineering. Introductory chapters cover basic cell biology and cellular development aas wel as cell culture, with emphasis on the ways of differntiating tissue and on the critical evaluation of the properties of maturing tissue constructs. The authors also focus on the use of stem cells from the most varied sources in tissue engineering. The whole is rounded off by an exceptionally wide-ranging glossary containing some one thousand key words from the fields of cell biology, cell culture development, and tissue engineering.
