Kumar C. (Ed.). Tissue, Cell and Organ Engineering (Nanotechnologies for the Life Sciences, Volume 9)

Wiley, 2006. - 532 p. - This volume collects the knowledge on how to bring nanomaterials and strategies together for assembling functional and structural artificial tissues. Treating tissue engineering in a materials science context—from nanomaterials to functional tissues—the text covers strategies, technologies and biological effects, drawing on a wide range of material types, including organic and inorganic materials, fibrous polymer scaffolds, nanocrystals, magnetic nanoparticles, nanotubes and nanowires.
