A cutting-edge look at the application of micro andnanotechnologies in regenerative medicine
The area at the interface of micro/nanotechnology and stemcells/tissue engineering has seen an explosion of activity inrecent years. This book provides a much-needed overview of theseexciting developments, covering all aspects of micro andnanotechnologies, from the fundamental principles to the latestresearch to applications in regenerative medicine.
Written and edited by the top researchers in the field, Microand Nanotechnologies in Engineering Stem Cells and Tissuesdescribes advances in material systems along with currenttechniques available for cell, tissue, and organ studies. Readerswill gain tremendous insight into the state of the art of stemcells and tissue engineering, and learn how to use the technologyin their own research or clinical trials. Coverage includes:
* Technologies for controlling or regulating stem cell and tissuegrowth
* Various engineering approaches for stem cell, vascular tissue,and bone regeneration
* The design and processing of biocompatible polymers and otherbiomaterials
* Characterization of the interactions between cells andbiomaterials
Unrivaled among books of this kind, Micro andNanotechnologies in Engineering Stem Cells and Tissues is theultimate forward-looking reference for researchers in numerousdisciplines, from engineering and materials science to biomedicine,and for anyone wishing to understand the trends in thistransformative field.
