Tissue Engineering: A Primer with Laboratory Demonstrations concisely covers the fundamental basics of tissue engineering. A series of simple, low-cost, and easy-to-implement laboratory modules are included in each chapter, along with experimental results with actual images and data, and a set of questions and discussion topics for each laboratory exercise. The textbook is appropriate for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level courses in cell and tissue engineering. The inclusion of images and data for all laboratory exercises also makes the book a valuable tool for scientists and engineers to learn the concepts in a hands-on and visual manner and lay a foundation to build their experiments towards their research and commercial development.
