"This in-depth analysis has led to the recent publication of a uniquely comprehensive two volume book: ‘The Handbook of Tissue Engineering Scaffolds’ part one and part two. With 66 chapters, this book currently represents the largest published collection of tissue engineering scaffold research in the world." --University of Bradford / Business / News and Events

Handbook of Tissue Engineering Scaffolds: Volume One, provides a comprehensive and authoritative review on recent advancements in the application and use of composite scaffolds in tissue engineering. Chapters focus on specific tissue/organ (mostly on the structure and anatomy), the materials used for treatment, natural composite scaffolds, synthetic composite scaffolds, fabrication techniques, innovative materials and approaches for scaffolds preparation, host response to the scaffolds, challenges and future perspectives, and more. Bringing all the information together in one major reference, the authors systematically review and summarize recent research findings, thus providing an in-depth understanding of scaffold use in different body systems.
