Tissue engineering

Tissue Engineering is the most comprehensive text available for upper level undergraduate and graduate level courses in tissue engineering within bioengineering, medical and research departments. It surpasses other books that merely provide a collection of research and protocols and presents an insightful examination of the different aspects of tissue engineering. Full-color throughout,extensive examples, and ancillary material optimize the usefulness of this book for students and professors. INDICE: 1. Stem cells 2.
