Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering

Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering introduces the fundamental concepts and translational applications of musculoskeletal tissue engineering, in combination with emerging technologies and materials. Sections discuss Tissues and Technologies, covering a range of musculoskeletal tissues, including bone, cartilage, ligament and more. Each chapter in this section details core tissue engineering principles specific to each tissue type. Next, a Technologies section looks at the range of biomaterials used in musculoskeletal tissue engineering, focusing on biocompatibility of materials and interactions at the material-tissue interface. Other chapters cover nanotechnology, 3D printing, gene therapy, tissue chips, and more.This book offers an advanced reference text for researchers in biomedical engineering, materials science and regenerative medicine.- Details various materials and cutting-edge technologies for musculoskeletal tissue engineering- Covers a range of musculoskeletal tissues, including bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, meniscus, and more- Provides a balance between basic concepts and translational applications for a broad audience
