Bone Tissue Engineering

Focusing on bone biology, Bone Tissue Engineering integrates basic sciences with tissue engineering. It includes contributions from world-renowned researchers and clinicians who discuss key topics such as different models and approaches to bone tissue engineering, as well as exciting clinical applications for patients. Divided into four sections, the book covers basic bone biology and tissue engineering, scaffold designs for tissue engineering, applied principles of bone tissue engineering, and clinical opportunities. The comprehensive nature of this book, including extensive bibliographies, will make it an invaluable resource for biomedical engineers, tissue engineers, dental and bone-related medical researchers, and craniofacial biologists. Focusing on bone biology, Bone Tissue Engineering integrates the basic science, engineering, and their practical medical applications. The book presents the fundamentals of basic sciences to provide direction for the design and the development of bone tissue engineering products and therapies. It discusses different models and approaches, explores clinical applications and opportunities, and discusses issues such as biostatistics, modeling, bone assessment, and biomechanics. The book also illustrates how a design for tissue engineering is developed through scientific methodology "Focusing on bone biology, Bone Tissue Engineering integrates basic sciences with tissue engineering.
