TISSUE ENGINEERING FOR THE HEART - RAVI BIRLA K...

This book covers the fundamentals of tissue engineering for the heart  starting with the basics
of organ generation  sensors in tissue and organ fabrication  and the current state-of-the-art
in stem cell engineering for the heart. With this foundation in place  the remaining chapters
focus on specific aspects of the cardiovascular system  starting with heart muscle  then
biological pumps  followed by bioartificial ventricles  and finally  bioartificial hearts.
Throughout the course of this book  twenty-two in-depth case studies are presented. Each case
study has been selected to illustrate specific design schemes for tissue and organ fabrication.
This is an ideal book for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students studying tissue
engineering and organ regeneration  especially those focused on cardiac regeneration. This book
also: Includes twenty-two case studies that illustrate specific design schemes for engineering
the heart Provides open-ended discussion questions at the end of each chapter as well as a
detailed reference list to encourage further research and reading Covers the basics of organ
fabrication as well as sensor technology and genetic engineering as they relate to tissue and
organ fabrication
