Tendon Regeneration

Tendon Regeneration is 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, this book explores physiology, pathology and surgical reconstruction building a natural progression to provide guidance on biological approaches to enhance tendon regeneration practices. Contributions from scientists, clinicians and engineers who are the leading figures in their fields provide 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. . Provides an overview of tendon biology, disease, and tissue engineering approaches . Modern alternative approaches to developing functional tissue solutions discussed .
