It is an incredibly progressive field of medicine that may, in the near future, help with the shortage of life-saving organs available through donation for transplantation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Tissue Engineering: Applications and Challenges\u003c\/i\u003e makes tissue engineering more accessible to undergraduate and graduate students alike. It provides a systematic and logical eight-step process for tissue fabrication. Specific chapters have been dedicated to provide in-depth principles for many of the supporting and enabling technologies during the tissue fabrication process and include biomaterial development and synthesis, bioreactor design, and tissue vascularization. The tissue fabrication process is further illustrated with specific examples for liver, bladder, and trachea. Section-coverage includes an overall introduction of tissue engineering; enabling and supporting technologies; clinical applications; and case studies and future challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Tissue Engineering:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003ePresents medical applications of stem cells in tissue engineering\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeals with the effects of chemical stimulation (growth factors and hormones)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eCovers current disease pathologies and treatment options (pacemakers, prosthesis)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eExplains bioengineering, design and fabrication, and critical challenges during tissue fabrication\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eOffers PowerPoint slides for instructors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures case studies and a section on future directions and challenges\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs pioneering individuals look ahead to the possibility of generating entire organ systems, students may turn to this text for a comprehensive understanding and preparation for the future of regenerative medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRAVI BIRLA, P\u003csmall\u003eH\u003c\/small\u003eD,\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Houston.
