Tissue Engineering the Cartilages of the Body - Hyaline Cartilage, Fibrocartilage, Elastic Cartilage, and Lipocartilage

This book describes current methods related to cartilage tissue engineering focusing on the structure and function of native cartilage tissues of hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage. The book covers topics in modern cartilage tissue engineering including structure-function relationships in native tissue, methods for cartilage tissue engineering and evaluation, animal models. The book concludes with a description of the translational aspects and perspectives.
