Opis

This book reflects state-of-the-art of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, as well as their therapeutic application. The basic concept of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering is intriguing for physicians and scientists as it involves healing tissues or organ defects that the present medical practice finds difficult or impossible to cure. Regenerative medicine is a new division of medicine which aims to change the course of chronic disease and regenerate failing organ systems lost due to damage, age, disease and congenital defects. Tissue engineering involves cells, materials methods and engineering supported by appropriate physiochemical and biological factors to enhance or replace biologic functions. It discusses various topics like creation of tissues & organs and clinical perspective of tissue engineering & cell therapies. This book will prove to be a reference for physicians, scientists and students and an explanatory analysis for individuals in pharmaceuticals and biotech companies.
