TAILIEUCHUNG - Central Nervous System Tissue Engineering

The brain and spinal cord compose the Central Nervous System (CNS), which is the control center of the body. Inputs from muscles, involuntary organs, and senses travel through the nerves of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) into the CNS where they are interpreted. Signals may travel within the brain to separate functional areas. Instructions are then sent outward again for voluntary movement and involuntary regulation to complete the endless loop of the nervous system circuitry. The CNS is critical to function of the entire body, which is why incurred injury and disease cripple one’s quality of life. In the United States alone approximately 265,000 people are. | Central Nervous System Tissue Engineering Current Considerations and Strategies Synthesis Lectures on Tissue Engineering Editor Kyriacos A. Athanasiou and J. Kent Leach University of California Davis The Synthesis Lectures on Tissue Engineering series will publish concise books on aspects of a field that holds so much promise for providing solutions to some of the most difficult problems of tissue repair healing and regeneration. The field of Tissue Engineering straddles biology medicine and engineering and it is this multi-disciplinary nature that is bound to revolutionize treatments for a plethora of tissue and organ problems. Central to Tissue Engineering is the use of living cells with a variety of biochemical or biophysical stimuli to alter or maximize cellular functions and responses. However in addition to its therapeutic potentials this field is making significant strides in providing diagnostic tools. Each book in the Series will be a self-contained treatise on one subject authored by leading experts. Books will be approximately 65-125 pages. Topics will include 1 Tissue Engineering knowledge on particular tissues or organs . articular cartilage liver cardiovascular tissue but also on 2 methodologies and protocols as well as 3 the main actors in Tissue Engineering paradigms such as cells biomolecules biomaterials biomechanics and engineering design. This Series is intended to be the first comprehensive series of books in this exciting area. Central Nervous SystemTissue Engineering Current Considerations and Strategies Ashley E.
