Natural Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering

Natural Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering is a comprehensive reference which provides in-depth principles for supporting and enabling knowledge during the tissue production process, as well as focusing on different cells systems. The tissue fabrication process is illustrated with specific examples for more than 30 tissues which may soon lead to new tissue engineering therapies. Section-coverage includes an overall introduction, decellularization protocols specific to each tissue, characterization, materials and methods, cell seeding process, preclinical evaluation in laboratory animals, clinical applications, limitations, conclusion, and future challenges.

Readers will turn to this up-to-date coverage for a widespread understanding of regenerative medicine, which will be useful to students and experts alike.
