Features: This book, originally edited by the pioneers of tissue engineering, Robert P. Lanza, Robert Langer, and Joseph Vacanti, was written by a team of authoritative experts from renowned laboratories worldwide. It is one of the best books in the field of tissue engineering. The first edition of the original book was published in 1997 and became the first comprehensive work on tissue engineering internationally, receiving widespread acclaim upon release. Building on this foundation, the book incorporates new research findings, provides more incisive, comprehensive, and in-depth elaboration on the fundamental theories and principles of tissue engineering, and proposes several new theories and perspectives. The book first introduces some important basic concepts of tissue engineering and briefly reviews the history of its development. Part 1 briefly covers relevant topics in cell biology. Part 2 describes the technical characteristics of in vitro organ synthesis. Part 3 explains in vivo organ repair techniques. Parts 4–6 illustrate ECM replacement models. Parts 7–20 discuss the characteristics of various organ tissue engineering. The final part addresses the legal and regulatory issues related to tissue engineering. This book is suitable for researchers at all levels in the field of tissue engineering, as well as professionals in regenerative medicine, basic medicine, biomaterials, and cell biology.
