Engineering Strategies for Regenerative Medicine

By providing massive amounts of data on each individual, recent scientific advances are rapidly accelerating medicine. Cellular, molecular and genetic parameters from biological samples combined with clinical information can now provide valuable data to scientists, clinicians and ultimately patients, leading to the development of precision medicine. Equally noteworthy is the contribution of stem cell biology, bioengineering and tissue engineering to unraveling the mechanisms of disease, regeneration and development. Knowing how to use data to better guide clinical practice, however, remains a challenge. Engineering Strategies for Regenerative Medicine considers how engineering strategies can be applied to accelerate advances in regenerative medicine. The book provides relevant and up to date content on key topics. The interdisciplinary integration of different aspects of stem cell biology and technology, and the focus on diverse technologies and their applications, make this book useful for researchers and practitioners working across regenerative medicine.
