Description
Book SynopsisNanotechnology and high-end characterization techniques have highlighted the importance of the material choice for the success of tissue engineering. A paradigm shift has been seen from conventional passive materials as scaffolds to smart multi-functional materials that can mimic the complex intracellular milieu more effectively. This book presents a detailed overview of the rationale involved in the choice of materials for regeneration of different tissues and the future directions in this fascinating area of materials science with specific chapters on regulatory challenges & ethics; tissue engineered medical products.
Trade Review"The book of provides a broad overview of regenerative engineering along with focused chapters related to engineering of various types of artificial tissues and organs. The book is well written, up to date, and provides a good overview of the topic."

"This interesting book written from well known scientists provides an interesting overview of the different and more modern aspects regarding biomaterials, engineered tissues, and tools used up to date for regeneration and therapy of the different human tissues. Its reading may be useful to the chemical and medical community, and to people involved in the marketing of cosemetics and medical devices, to have a general introduction on the nanostructures used in the regenerative medicine as well as for teaching and self-study purposes."
