Preface
We are especially pleased to present the second edition of our edited book in an area that is quickly emerging as one of the most active research areas that integrates both engineering and medicine. Research in this area is growing by leaps and bounds. Preliminary research results show significant potential in effecting major breakthroughs ranging from a reduction in the number of corrective surgeries needed to the “scientific miracle” of generating tissue growth. Billions of dollars/euros/pounds have been inves
