With contributions from internationally renowned authors, readers can explore a comprehensive collection of articles tailored for scientists, research engineers, and students to learn basic and advanced micro/nanotechnology protocols. The book helps professionals understand the many intricate steps involved in microenvironmental control in tissue engineering, focusing on state-of-the-art approaches for delivering soluble and substrate-based cues to cells. If you have an interest in tissue engineering or regenerative medicine, this book is a must-have!”
Prof. Jeffrey M. Karp - Brigham and Women's Hospital, USA
Tissue engineering aims to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve damaged tissue and organ functionality. To date, there are two fundamental tissue engineering approaches for tissue and organ regeneration: stem cell–based regeneration and biomaterial-based regeneration. The challenge of existing stem cell–based techniques is that current therapies lack controlled environments that are crucial to regulate stem cell engraftment and differentiation in vivo, because stem cells are rather sensitive to even minute changes in their environment. Micro/nanotechnology hold great potential to control stem cell differentiation and fate in vivo.
This book presents the latest nano/microtechnologies used to manipulate stem cell behaviors, which is a critical area for regenerative medicine. Moreover, it covers and details cutting-edge research in nano/microfabrication techniques and biomaterials for various tissue/organ, such as bone, cartilage, craniofacial, osteochondral, muscle, bladder and cardiovascular tissue, etc., regenerations.
The contributors of this book are prominent authors that include Dr. Joseph P. Vacanti (Harvard Medical School, pioneer in tissue engineering); Dr. Anthony Atala (Wake Forest, chair of the Department of Urology, top researcher in organ regeneration); Dr. Kyriacos A. Athanasiou (UC Davis, chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and president of Biomedical Engineering Society 2003); Dr. Cato T. Laurencin (University of Connecticut, member of the National Academy of Engineering); Dr. Jennifer West (Duke University, former chair of the Department of Bioengineering at Rice University); and Gilda A. Barabino (Georgia Institute of Technology, President of Biomedical Engineering Society 2011).
