Kurzbeschreibung

Here, expert scientists from industry and academia share their knowledge on the assembly of functional human tissues in vitro and how to design drug screenings predictive of human exposure. In so doing, they combine the latest technological developments with strategic outlooks, while tackling such important issues as regulatory acceptance and ethical considerations.
