Engineering Tissues for Medical Applications

Engineering Tissues for Medical Applications explores the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of tissue engineering—a science at the intersection of biology, medicine, and engineering. Designed for students, researchers, and healthcare professionals, this textbook offers a clear and comprehensive overview of how engineered tissues are developed to repair, replace, or regenerate damaged human organs and tissues.

From foundational topics such as stem cells, scaffolds, and tissue culture, to advanced techniques like bioprinting, biomimetics, and neural regeneration, the book presents a step-by-step understanding of both principles and practice. Each chapter blends scientific theory with real-world applications, supported by case studies, illustrations, and discussion points to reinforce learning.

The text also explores the global tissue engineering industry, ethical challenges, and current regulations guiding the development of medical-grade tissues. Special attention is given to emerging technologies in Asia and their impact on global regenerative medicine.

Whether you’re entering the field or expanding your knowledge, this textbook provides the essential tools to understand and contribute to one of modern medicine’s most promising frontiers.
