This textbook describes the basic principles of induced organ regeneration in skin and
peripheral nerves and extends the original successful paradigm to other organs. A set of
trans-organ rules is established and its use in regeneration of several organs is illustrated
from the works of several independent investigators who worked with a variety of organs such
as the lung the bladder and the Achilles tendon using collagen-based scaffolds somewhat
similar to the original one. These critical medical treatments fill the clinical need that is
not met by organ transplantation.New to this second edition:New information extending the
paradigm of tissue regeneration from organ regeneration in skin and peripheral nerves to other
organsGuidelines known as trans-organ rules are described for the first time for extending
this unique medical treatment to organs of several medical specialtiesThe work serves as a
comprehensive text and reference for students and practitioners of tissue engineering
