Addressing the principles, methods, and applications of a broad range of tissue engineering scaffolds, this book reviews the general principles of tissue engineering. It presents an in-depth exploration of traditional and novel materials, three-dimensional scaffold design and fabrication technologies, important structural and functional scaffold modification, and various tissue engineering application scaffolds. While providing a comprehensive summary of current knowledge and technologies, the book give readers insight into new trends and directions for scaffold development and for an ever-expanding range of tissue engineering applications.
