Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering from the Orthopedics Library brings together developmental biology and tissue engineering to support more effective regenerative medicine approaches for orthopedic tissue repair. With a focus on how native tissue properties can be recapitulated, this resource addresses the foundational principles needed to advance cell- and tissue-based therapies toward successful clinical development.
Key benefits
- Unites two disciplines—tissue engineering and developmental biology—to explore how regenerative research can contribute to enhanced clinical outcomes.
- Builds from fundamentals to applications, with early chapters outlining development of the musculoskeletal system and later chapters focusing on specific tissues.
- Connects biology to engineering design by examining how mechanical forces during development inform tissue engineering relevance.
- Highlights genetic guidance, discussing the role of genes in musculoskeletal development and how this knowledge can be used in tissue engineering.
- Shows tissue-specific pathways for using developmental biology to guide tissue engineering for cartilage, bone, disc, and tendon repair.
Who this is for
- Practitioners seeking source information grounded in the principles of musculoskeletal regeneration.
- Researchers and early-career readers with a nascent interest in developmental biology–informed tissue engineering.
- Tissue engineers and developmental biologists looking to connect developmental processes to regenerative medicine-based research.
