Bioregenerative Engineering has four units: overview, foundations, principles, and potential clinical applications of molecular, cellular, and tissue engineering.

Each unit includes experimental design, methods, and models where applicable. Thus, the book serves as more than a textbook, but as a guide for the design and conduction of research projects.

Features:

• Provides the fundamental theory and principles of molecular, cellular, and tissue regenerative engineering concurrently with experimental approaches
• presents the fdoundations of bioregenerative engineering, encompassing the molecular basis, the regulatory mechanism of regeneration, and the developmental aspects
• Combines molecular and cell biology with potential application
• Addresses experimental design, methods, and modeling at the molecular/cellular/tissue levels
• Covers the general mechanisms and technologies of bioregenerative engineering, as well as its application to the treatment of human disorders Bioregenerative EngineeringDiscusses the engineering tests and therapies for major organ system
