About the Book
Natural Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering is a comprehensive reference that provides in-depth principles for supporting and enabling knowledge during the tissue production process, focusing on different cell systems. The tissue fabrication process is illustrated with specific examples for more than 30 tissues, which may soon lead to new tissue engineering therapies. The 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 may turn to this up-to-date coverage for a widespread understanding of regenerative medicine, which will be useful to students and experts alike.
