Tabla de Contenidos:
- Cover; Companion website; Title Page; Copyright; Preface; Chapter 1: Which Tissue Engineering Tribe Are You From?; 1.1 Why do we need to engineer tissues at all?; 1.2 Bio-integration as a fundamental component of engineering tissues; 1.3 What are the 'tribes' of tissue engineering?; 1.4 Surprises from tissue engineering (Veselius to Vacanti); 1.5 So, really, is there any difference between tissue engineering and regenerative medicine?; 1.6 Conclusions; 1.7 Summarizing definitions; Further reading.
- Chapter 2: Checking Out the Tissue Groupings and the Small Print: or: Avoiding the low aim that still misses2.1 Checking the small print: what did we agree to engineer?; 2.2 Identifying special tissue needs, problems and opportunities; 2.3 When is 'aiming high' just 'over the top'?; 2.4 Opportunities, risks and problems; 2.5 Special needs for model tissues; 2.6 Opportunities and sub-divisions for engineering clinical implant tissues; 2.7 Overall summary; Further reading; Chapter 3: What Cells 'Hear' When We Say '3D': or: How do you know you are moving when you close your eyes?
- 3.1 Sensing your environment in three dimensions: seeing the cues3.2 What is this 3D cell culture thing?; 3.3 Is 3D, for cells, more than a stack of 2Ds?; 3.4 On, in and between tissues: what is it like to be a cell?; 3.5 Different forms of cell-space: 2D, 3D, pseudo-3D and 4D cell culture; 3.6 Matrix-rich, cell-rich and pseudo-3D cell cultures; 3.7 4D cultures-or cultures with a 4th dimension?; 3.8 Building our own personal understanding of cell position in its 3D space; 3.9 Conclusion; Further reading.
- Chapter 4: Making Support-Scaffolds Containing Living Cells: Bulk material compositions for holding cells naturally4.1 Two in one: maintaining a synergy means keeping a good duet together; 4.2 Choosing cells and support-scaffolds is like matching carriers with cargo; 4.3 How like the 'real thing' must a scaffold be to fool its resident cells?; 4.4 Tissue prosthetics and cell prosthetics-what does it matter?; 4.5 Types of cell support material for tissue engineering-composition or architecture?; 4.6 Three generic types of bulk composition for support materials; 4.7 Conclusions; Further reading.
- Chapter 5: Making the Shapes for Cells in Support-Scaffolds: Constructing tiny Galapagos for cells5.1 3D shape and the size hierarchy of support materials; 5.2 What do we think 'substrate shape' might control?; 5.3 How we fabricate tissue structures affects what we get out in the end: bottom up or top down?; 5.4 What shall we seed into our cell-support materials?; 5.5 Acquiring our cells: recruiting the enthusiastic or press-ganging the resistant; 5.6 Cargo, crew or stowaway?; 5.7 Chapter summary; Further reading.
