Summary

"Tissue engineering is a new field at the interface of engineering and biology that uses implanted cells, scaffolds, DNA, proteins, protein fragments, and inductive molecules to repair or replace injured or diseased tissues and organs. Functional Tissue Engineering marks the tremendous progress in biological and biomaterials aspects of this field that have been accomplished to date." "Functional tissue engineering represents a relevant and exciting new discipline in the field of tissue engineering. Readers will get an overview designed to increase awareness among tissue engineers about the importance of restoring biomechanical function in the development of living tissue substitutes. Further, the chapter authors identify the critical structural and mechanical requirements needed for each construct and provide a framework for the development of functional criteria in the design, manufacture, and optimization of tissue-engineered constructs. Garnering the expertise of a select group of biomedical engineers, biologists, and clinicians, Functional Tissue Engineering is a necessary resource for students, investigators, and clinicians engaged in this dynamic and exciting area."--BOOK JACKET.
