DESCRIPTION:
"the book is vast, detailed, and beautifully presentedone cannot but be impressed."--NATURE"This new treatise on the principles of tissue engineering is essential for anyone working in the field. It is a vast, detailed and beautifully presented analysis of the cellular principles, in vitro and in vivo
Covering the whole body This is a great book, covering most details of its field. It describes the physicians (and their patients) dream of substituting organs and cells and it also shows, how mankind could not solve problems � up to now. History of artificial organs lacking the full function is one point, but the focus is on cells and their ability to build complete organs � and therefore the book looks on the pathway for the future of organ substitution.The introduction covers some main ideas of tissue engineering � what do we want � what are we able to do � wh. Excellent reference A few too many equations, but clearly the most comprehensive text in the field. Contributors list reads like a 'Who's Who' of tissue engineering.. One sided A Customer The book is mistitled as 'Principles' since it does not really do justice to the foundations of the field. It is more of a compilations of the research work of a 'few' investigators in the field.
