Opis

Featuring leading researchers and clinicians, this volume covers materials associated with replacement or repair of tissues or entire tissue structures. The book begins with a description of specific biological features and delves into the physics of explicit anatomical structures starting with the cell. The contents are then organized by organ type and biological function. In addition to physical descriptions, each chapter discusses principles of related diagnostic methods and technological aspects of therapeutic applications. A final section on regenerative engineering emphasizes biochemical and physiochemical factors important in improving or replacing biological functions.
