Foreword
This book brings together two important fields of science and engineering with roots in the latter part of the twentieth century and propels them into the twenty-first century. Fetal biology and fetal therapy are interwoven into the disciplines of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The marriage is logical from many standpoints. Developmental biology has undergone explosive growth in new knowledge and understanding. The gene programs and signaling pathways in many ways overlap with the signaling of successful regeneration of tissues. M
