Summary
Details the design, characterisation and operation of the bioreactor system in which the tissue is grown. This volume addresses the issue of mechanical conditioning of the tissue, and describes the use of techniques such as MRI for monitoring tissue growth. It also deals with the application of bioreactor technology to tissue engineering products
