Tendon Regeneration, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Tendon Regeneration: Understanding Tissue Physiology and Development to Engineer Functional Substitutes was the first book to highlight the multi-disciplinary nature of this specialized field and the importance of collaboration between medical and engineering laboratories in the development of tissue-oriented products for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) strategies. Beginning with a foundation in developmental biology, the book explores physiology, pathology, and surgical reconstruction, providing guidance on biological approaches that enhances tendon regeneration practices. Contributions from scientists, clinicians, and engineers who are the leading figures in their respective field's present recent findings in tendon stem cells, cell therapies, and scaffold treatments, as well as examples of pre-clinical models for translational therapies and a view of the future of the field. New coverage will include signaling pathways for tendon development, molecular mechanisms of tendinopathy, inflammation contribution to healing and pathology of tendons, tendon aging and degeneration, tendon models, and translational studies for tendon regenerative medicine.
