Engineering the Knee Meniscus
Av Kyriacos Athanasiou, Johannah Sanchez-Adams
Häftad, 2009
322 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The knee meniscus was once thought to be a vestigial tissue, but is now known to be instrumental in imparting stability, shock absorption, load transmission, and stress distribution within the knee joint. Unfortunately, most damage to the meniscus cannot be effectively healed by the body. Meniscus …
Tissue Engineering of Temporomandibular Joint Cartilage
Av Kyriacos Athanasiou, Alejandro J. Almarza m. fl.

Cartilage injuries in children and adolescents are increasingly observed, with roughly 20% of knee injuries in adolescents requiring surgery. In the US alone, costs of osteoarthritis (OA) are in excess of $65 billion per year (both medical costs and lost wages). Comorbidities are common with OA and …
Fundamental Biomechanics in Bone Tissue Engineering
Av Xiaodu Wang, Jeffrey Nyman m. fl.
Häftad, 2010
377 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This eight-chapter monograph intends to present basic principles and applications of biomechanics in bone tissue engineering in order to assist tissue engineers in design and use of tissue-engineered products for repair and replacement of damaged/deformed bone tissues. Briefly, Chapter 1 gives an …
Cells and Biomaterials for Intervertebral Disc Regeneration
Av Sibylle Grad, Mauro Alini m. fl.
Häftad, 2010
322 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Disorders related to the intervertebral disc (IVD) are common causes of morbidity and of severe life quality deterioration. IVD degeneration, although in many cases asymptomatic, is often the origin of painful neck and back diseases. In Western societies IVD related pain and disability account for …

Dental caries, periodontitis, tooth loss, and bone resorption are considered prevalent health problems that have direct affect on the quality of life. While, advances in stem cell biology and biotechnology have sparked hope for devastating maladies, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, etc., …
Central Nervous System Tissue Engineering
Current Considerations and Strategies
Av Ashley E. Wilkinson, Aleesha M. McCormick m. fl.
Häftad, 2010
377 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Combating neural degeneration from injury or disease is extremely difficult in the brain and spinal cord, i.e. central nervous system (CNS). Unlike the peripheral nerves, CNS neurons are bombarded by physical and chemical restrictions that prevent proper healing and restoration of function. The CNS …
