The purpose of this book is to provide students, young investigators aswell as established researchers and clinicians with comprehensive reviews onfundamental and applied aspects of regeneration of bone and to offer insights into future developments. The book is divided in four different parts which are entitled “Building Blocks of Osteogenesis”, “Bone Healing”, “Tissue Engineering of Bone” and “From the Bench to the Bedside”.
The first section gives an overview of the building blocks of osteogen-esis. The opening chapter by Yang et al describes transcription factors that are essential in bone development. It followed by chapters by Kutzenov et al and Reddi which give respectively comprehensive overviews on skeletal stem cells and bone morphogenetic proteins. Finally, Burger et al stress the impor-tance of echanical forces such as fluid shear stress and cell stretching on bone formation in the last chapter of this section.
