Bone Tissue Engineering

Focusing on bone biology, Bone Tissue Engineering integrates the basic science, engineering, and their practical medical applications. The book presents the fundamentals of basic sciences to provide direction for the design and the development of bone tissue engineering products and therapies. It discusses different models and approaches, explores clinical applications and opportunities, and discusses issues such as biostatistics, modeling, bone assessment, and biomechanics. The book also illustrates how a design for tissue engineering is developed through scientific methodology.
