Product Description
First published in 1997, Principles of Tissue Engineering is the widely recognized definitive resource in the field. The third edition provides a much needed update of the rapid progress that has been achieved in the 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. This edition includes greatly expanded focus on stem cells, including adult and embryonic stem cells and progenitor populations that may soon lead to new tissue engineering therapies for heart disease, diabetes, and a wide variety of other diseases that afflict humanity. This up-to-date coverage of stem cell biology and other emerging technologies is complemented by a series of new chapters on recent clinical experience in applying tissue engineering. The result is a comprehensive textbook that we believe will be useful to students and experts alike. *Organized into twenty parts that cover the basics of tissue growth and development, approaches to tissue and organ design, and a summary of current knowledge by organ system*Thoroughly revised and updated*Includes new chapters on biomaterial-protein interactions, nanocomposite and three-dimensional scaffolds, skin substitutes, spinal cord, vision enhancement, and heart valves*Expanded coverage of adult and embryonic stem cells of the cardiovascular, hematopoietic, musculoskeletal, nervous, and other organ systems*Full color presentation throughout |

Indispensable for the Serious Scientist, whether Clinicial or Basic by N. Murphy (Los Angeles)  5 Stars
September 29, 2007
Principles of Tissue Engineering, Third Edition
This text is so well written and organized that it virtually defines the frontiers of the life sciences for the next 100 years, an era that promises to deliver to mankind what our fellow humans only dreamed about for millennia. Truly this text is a milestone in what others have termed "The Century of the Biologist". As a craniofacial and dentoalveolar applied biologist I have shared the information in this book with my patients who not only marvel at the phenomenal explosion of data but also the practial applications that it explains and justifies. If you consider yourself an intellectual clinician, a dedicated educator of life science( at any pedagogical level) or commited basic scientists this text is the kind of absolutely requied reading you would voluntarily purchase for the thrill of free inquiry that feeds the disquiet spirits of the insatiably curious mind.
Each edition will prove, no doubt, to be as eagerly anticipated by serious scientists as devotees and readers of television soap operas or mystery novels awaiting the next development in a captivating plot. For those of us in the "real world" of clinical translational studies we are proud and privileged to have such fertile and generous minds behind our professional endeavors and scholastic avocations.
