Now in its fourth edition, Principles of Tissue Engineering has been the definite resource in the field of tissue engineering for more than a decade. The fourth edition provides an update on this rapidly progressing field, combining the prerequisites for a general understanding of tissue growth and development, the tools and theoretical information needed to design tissues and organs, as well as a presentation by the world's experts of what is currently known about each specific organ system. As in previous editions, this book creates a comprehensive work that strikes a balance among the diversity of subjects that are related to tissue engineering, including biology, chemistry, material science, and engineering, among others, while also emphasizing those research areas that are likely to be of clinical value in the future. This edition includes greatly expanded focus on stem cells, including induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, stem cell niches, and blood components from stem cells. This research has already produced applications in disease modeling, toxicity testing, drug development, and clinical therapies. This up-to-date coverage of stem cell biology and other emerging technologies -such as brain-machine interfaces for controlling bionics and neuroprostheses- is complemented by a series of new and updated chapters on recent clinical experience in applying tissue engineering, as well as a new section on the application of tissue-engineering techniques for food production. The result is a comprehensive textbook that will be useful to students and experts alike. Includes new chapters on biomaterial-protein interactions, nanocomposite and three-dimensional scaffolds, skin substitutes, spinal cord, vision enhancement, and heart valvesOffers expanded coverage of adult and embryonic stem cells of the cardiovascular, hematopoietic, musculoskeletal, nervous, and other organ systemsFull-color presentation throughout INDICE: INTRODUCTION TO TISSUE ENGINEERING - PART ONE: THE BASIS OF GROWTH AND DIFFERENTIATION PART TWO: IN VITRO CONTROL OF TISSUE DEVELOPMENT PART THREE: IN VIVO SYNTHESIS OF TISSUES AND ORGANS PART FOUR: MODELS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING PART FIVE: BIOMATERIALS IN TISSUE ENGINEERING PART SIX: TRANSPLANTATION OF ENGINEERED CELLS AND TISSUES PART SEVEN: STEM CELLS PART EIGHT: GENE THERAPY PART NINE: BREAST PART TEN: CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM PART ELEVEN: ENDOCRINOLOGY AND METABOLISM PART TWELVE: GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM PART THIRTEEN: HEMATOPOIETIC SYSTEM PART FOURTEEN: KIDNEY AND GENITOURINARY SYSTEM PART FIFTEEN: MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM PART SIXTEEN: NERVOUS SYSTEM PART SEVENTEEN: OPHTHALMIC APPLICATIONS PART EIGHTEEN: ORAL/DENTAL APPLICATIONS PART NINETEEN: RESPIRATORY SYSTEM PART TWENTY: SKIN PART TWENTY-ONE: CLINICAL EXPERIENCE PART TWENTY-TWO: REGULATION AND ETHICS
