Tissue Engineering Explained
"Tissue Engineering Explained" delves into the biomedical process of using cells and biochemical and physiochemical factors to restore, improve, maintain, or replace different types of biological tissues. We cover the history of tissue engineering, basic concepts, and its future prospects. Our book presents complex information in an easy-to-understand manner, supported by analytical data, graphs, and tables. We highlight the importance of tissue engineering in the medical field and its growing market value. This comprehensive guide is ideal for anyone looking to understand the intricacies of tissue engineering and its applications.
Tissue Engineering
A volume in the new Principles and Applications in Engineering series, Tissue Engineering provides an overview of the major physiologic systems of current interest to biomedical engineers: cardiovascular, endocrine, nervous, visual, auditory, gastrointestinal, and respiratory. It contains useful definitions, tables of basic physiologic data, and an introduction to the literature. Then, the book reviews the status of tissue engineering of specific organs, including bone marrow, skeletal muscle, and cartilage. Readers will acquire a good understanding of the engineering and cell biological fundamentals of tissue engineering and will develop ideas for further development of this emerging and important field.
Advances in Ceramic Biomaterials
Bioceramics are an important class of biomaterials. Due to their desirable attributes such as biocompatibility and osseointegration, as well as their similarity in structure to bone and teeth, ceramic biomaterials have been successfully used in hard tissue applications. In this book, a team of materials research scientists, engineers, and clinicians bridge the gap between materials science and clinical commercialization providing integrated coverage of bioceramics, their applications and challenges. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is a review of classes of medical-grade ceramic materials, their synthesis and processing as well as methods of property assessment. The second part contains a review of ceramic medical products and devices developed, their evolution, their clinical applications and some of the lessons learned from decades of clinical use. The third part outlines the challenges to improve performance and the directions that novel approaches and advanced technologies are taking, to meet these challenges. With a focus on the dialogue between surgeons, engineers, material scientists, and biologists, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and engineers working toward long-lasting, reliable, customized biomedical ceramic and composites devices. - Edited by a team of experts with expertise in industry and academia - Compiles the most relevant aspects on regulatory issues, standards and engineering of bioceramic medical devices as inspired by commercial and clinical needs - Introduces bioceramics, their evolution and applications in hard tissue engineering and medical devices
