Hardbound. Tissue engineering aims at regenerating new tissues as well as substituting lost organs by making use of autogeneic or heterogeneic cells in combination with biomaterials, a newly emerging biomedical engineering field. The proceedings of the Second International Symposium of Tissue Engineering for Therapeutic Use held in Tokyo, Japan in October 1997demonstrate the tremendous advances achieved during the short period of time between the first and the present symposium. The papers presented at the meeting are results of contributions from biologists, materials scientists, and clinicians who reviewed and discussed the latest developments and approaches. This symposium was also aimed at informing the participants of the advances made in the Tissue Engineering Project of the Research for the Future Program sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). Although research studies have presented some challenges to the field, this
