Description: Tissue Engineering provides an overview of the major physiologic systems of current interest to biomedical engineers: the cardiovascular, endocrine, nervous, visual, auditory, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems. It contains useful definitions, tables of basic physiologic data, and an introduction to the literature. The book reviews the statu
Review Quotes: "[C]hapters are well structured and easy to read and digest. [T]he terminology relating to physiological systems and cell biology concepts are clearly defined. Overall the book is well written and provides a good instruction and overview of tissue engineering . [T]he aim of producing a concise reference has been achieved." - Food and Bioproducts Processing, 2004, 82 (2) "The style of the book presents a well-balanced and open feel. The state-of-the-art topics reviews are relevant and of interest . The thoroughness and objectivity of the reviewed literature is commendable. Consisting of contributions from highly respected international 'gurus' in the field of tissue and organ engineering, the editors have offered a useful reference and research tool for current and future tissue bioengineers." - IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, Vol. 23, No. 4, July/Aug 2004
