113,62 ۥ Brings the fields of tissue engineering and developmental biology together to explore the potential for regenerative medicine-based research to contribute to enhanced clinical outcomes
• Initial chapters provide an outline of the development of the musculoskeletal system in general, and later chapters focus on specific tissues
• Addresses the effect of mechanical forces on the musculoskeletal system during development and the relevance of these processes to tissue engineering
• Discusses the role of genes in the development of musculoskeletal tissues and their potential use in tissue engineering
• Describes how developmental biology is being used to influence and guide tissue engineering approaches for cartilage, bone, disc, and tendon repair
