The Encyclopedia of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine provides a large and comprehensive collection of personal overviews of the latest developments and likely future directions in the field. It will be useful for students and beginners in the field, acting as a platform to show the latest concepts of both tissue engineering and regenerative medicine together in one resource, while experts and teachers will likewise find it useful to keep informed about the latest hot topics in both fields. By providing concise expositions on a broad range of topics, this Encyclopedia is an excellent resource for those seeking information beyond their specific areas of expertise and provides a refresher for experienced researchers seeking to step outside their core areas of research and to put their work into a broader context. This outstanding reference is essential for anyone involved in the study or treatment of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are relatively new, linked fields that are still in their early stages of development, yet already show great promise of bringing major benefits to human kind. The literature on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is not usually considered together but as two quite separate published disciplines. The encyclopedia brings together foundational content as well as the latest hot topics of both disciplines into one comprehensive resource, allowing deeper interdisciplinary research and conclusions to be drawn from two increasingly connected areas of biomedicine. The online encyclopedic format will allow more lavish illustrations and conceptual diagrams than one can normally afford to print. Encyclopedic coverage: 'one-stop' resource for access to information written by world-leading scholars in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine that is not available elsewhere, with easy cross-referencing of related articles to promote understanding and further researchInterdisciplinary: Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are two very complex and closely related fields yet there is no current fully comprehensive resource that combines them both. The encyclopedia enables the reader to understand how tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are linked, promoting interdisciplinary research and further understanding of the two areasMultimedia Features: Hyperlinked references and further readings, cross-references and diagrams/images will allow readers to easily navigate a wealth of information. Inclusion in BIOMED will ensure that content remains perpetually up-to-date, allowing readers to access the latest authoritative information immediatelyEasily the most comprehensive and exhaustive product on the market: Competition is either focused only on stem cell research; far shorter in length/content; or very out of date INDICE: 1. Overarching concepts in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine 2. Stem cells of various kinds: provenance, classification and useful properties. (ESC, iPSC, tissue specific epithelia, mesenchymal, cord blood, etc.) 3. Stem cell niches in various tissues 4. Harnessing stem cells for tissue regeneration 5. Tissue engineering as a surgical discipline 6. Approaches to tissue engineering: matrix choices, organ decellularization 7. Creating artificial tissue niches for tissue engineering creating stem cell niches, bioreactors 8. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches and applications in various tissues: Brain, bone and joint, eye, gut, heart, kidney, lung, liver, muscle, pancreas, skin, tendon 9. Regulatory pathways and barriers to implementation of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine 10. The value proposition for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine: how to get the job done
