Features: Tissue engineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field and a crucial component of regenerative medicine, aiming to reconstruct and repair missing or damaged tissues and organs. The concept of tissue engineering has been proposed for over 20 years, but it has not yet been widely applied in clinical practice. The authors of this book hope it can provide a fundamental guide for tissue engineering to become a revolutionary treatment method, for the future repair of tissues and the research on the reconstruction of new tissues with complex structures. The book is divided into four chapters, explaining the principles and basic techniques of tissue engineering, introducing the latest advancements in current tissue engineering research, including the applications of engineered tissues in various systems such as the integumentary system, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and thoracic system, nervous system, maxillofacial system, gastrointestinal system, and urogenital system. Finally, it focuses on exploring the current bottlenecks and prospects of clinical applications of tissue engineering. This book is suitable for researchers, teachers, and graduate students engaged in biomedical, bioengineering, and biomaterials research.
