Cartilage: Volume 1: Physiology and Development
This volume illustrates the complex processes of chondrogenesis and cartilage maintenanceInsights into biomechanics and function of cartilageTogether the three Volumes provide a comprehensive overview on cartilage biology, pathophysiology and regeneration strategiesIn three Volumes this mini book series presents current knowledge and new perspectives on cartilage as a specialized yet versatile tissue. This first volume provides a comprehensive overview on the basic biology of cartilage development followed by a description of cartilage structure and biomechanics. This book addresses Professors, researchers and PhD students who are interested in musculoskeletal and cartilage biology.Table of Contents1.
