From the book reviews:“This is an outstanding reference on in vitro and in vivo regrowth of soft tissues. The use of connective tissues stem cells (mesenchymal) is explored in detail. … I highly recommend this book for engineers, orthopaedic, plastic, and general surgeons. … I highly recommend this book to all audiences.” (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, August, 2014)
