Tissue Engineering Takes Advantage Of The Combined Use Of Cultured Living Cells And Three-dimensional Scaffolds To Reconstruct Adult Tissues That Are Absent Or Malfunctioning. This Book Brings Together Scientists And Clinicians Working On A Variety Of Apporaches For Regenerating Of Damaged Or Lost Cartilage And Bone To Assess The Progress Of This Dynamic Field--back Cover.
