Building Tissues

In order to effectively replace and regenerate a tissue, engineers must be familiar with mechanics, diffusion, electrical conductivity, heat transfer, kinetics, and a host of other concepts that are frequently studied. Each of these concepts is exposed in this book through introductions followed by mathematical equations with example problems.
