tailieunhanh - GASTRIC CARCINOMA ‐  MOLECULAR ASPECTS ANDCURRENT ADVANCES  

Tissue Engineering is the first medical therapy where engineered tissues could potentially become fully integrated within the patient, thus offering a permanent cure for many diseases not curable today. The National Science Foundation (NSF) defined Tissue Engineering in 1988 as the “application of the principles and methods of engineering and life sciences toward fundamental understanding of structure-function relationships in normal and pathological mammalian tissues and the development of biological substitutes to restore, maintain or improve tissue function (Shalak and Fox, 1988). Two decades later, Tissue Engineering/Regenerative Medicine is still a growing and exciting field of research applying knowledge of biology, physiology and cell culture techniques to offer new treatment. | GASTRIC CARCINOMA -MOLECULAR ASPECTS AND CURRENT ADVANCES Edited by Mahmoud Lotfy Gastric Carcinoma - Molecular Aspects and Current Advances Edited by Mahmoud Lotfy Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access articles distributed under the Creative Commons Non Commercial Share Alike Attribution license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
