Foreword
Nature has provided us with tissue interfaces with remarkable complexity and functional excellence. It is therefore clear that restoring damaged or diseased musculoskeletal tissues to healthy states represents an immense challenge. There is also a growing clinical need for such repairs for patients around the world, and this need drives continued research and development efforts to elucidate, understand and exploit the underlying mechanisms involved in these complex tissue interfaces. These efforts will lead to the next generation of repairs and medical devices to help patients with failing tissues and organs. This textbook provides an
