Description
"Tissue Engineering and Biodegradable Equivalents: Scientific and Clinical Applications" surveys a wide range of natural and synthetic compounds used in tissue, bone, muscle, cartilage, and organ replacement and discusses recent methods for processing, characterizing, and testing these biomaterials. The book offers effective techniques to manipulate cells and growth factors successfully in the construction, restoration, and regeneration of tissues. The topics include biodegradable scaffolds for meniscus tissue, cortical bone grafts, gene therapy applications, skin biomaterials, and urology applications.
