520 0  "This volume summarizes recent developments in the use of 
       new materials and technologies in healthcare. The emphasis
       is on new approaches that incorporate bioactive materials 
       and scaffolds with cells in the emerging technologies of 
       tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The 
       incorporation of nanotechnology, stem cells, and gene 
       control of cells is included in the current research 
       discussed" ---P. [4] of cover
