Tissue Engineering Made Easy

Tissue Engineering Made Easy provides concise, easy to understand, up-to-date information about the most important topics in tissue engineering. These include background and basic principles, clinical applications for a variety of organs (skin, nerves, eye, heart, lungs and bones), and the future of the field. The descriptions and explanations of each topic are such that those who have not had any exposure to the principles and practice of tissue engineering will be able to understand them, and the volume will serve as a source for self-teaching to get readers to a point where they can effectively engage with active researchers.

Offers readers a truly introductory way to understand the concepts, challenges and the new trends in reconstructive medicineFeatures accessible language for students beginning their research careers, private practice physician collaborators, and residents just beginning their research rotationAddresses the specifics for a variety of organs/systems – nerves, skin, bone, cardiovascular, respiratory, ophthalmicProvides examples from clinical and everyday situations
