Description

Biomaterials and Stem Cell Therapies for Biomedical Applications discusses the current research concepts and emerging technologies in the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering. Divided into four distinct sections, the book explores these state-of-the art technologies, opening with a description of stem cell technologies for biomedical applications before exploring biomaterials for biomedical applications, combinational approaches using stem cells and biomaterials, and finally, nanomedicine approaches for tissue regeneration. Topics include wound healing, tissue engineering, regenerative biomaterials, and stem cell treatments for wound healing and tissue regeneration. This concise and informative volume presents the latest developments in a highly informative and easy-to-read style.

Key features

  • Covers a range of tissue types, such as neural and cardiovascular, as well as various biomaterials and scaffolds to help the reader match the most appropriate material/technique to the target tissue
  • Provides the necessary background, definitions and applications of soft tissue regeneration, stem cell technologies, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and scaffolds in specific biomedical settings
  • Brings together multiple disciplines with chapters written by leading scientists, engineers, and clinicians to explore vital new areas of research

Deepti Singh

Deepti Singh is a bioengneer who has been exploring the application of polymeric materials in restoring or repairing injured tissues and organs. With a Ph.D in genetics and biotechnology, she has worked extenisively for the last decade to develop functional biomimetic that can enhance differeniation of embyronic stem cells into desired linage. This book focuses on interesting and new aspects of biomaterial design and its applications. With the emergence of bio-ink, 3D printing could potentially change the entire apporach of regenerative medicine in which instead of restoring and repairing, the disease tissue can be replaced.

Pierre C. Dromel

Pierre C Dromel (M.Sc., Ph.D.) is a bioengineer with a M.Sc. in Material Science from ENPC (France), a M.Sc. in Neurotechnology from Imperial College London and a Ph.D. from MIT on Biomaterials and stem cell therapies and currently is a Research Fellow at Schepens Eye Research Institute of Harvard Medical School. He has used his multi-disciplinary set of skills to actively participate in the discovery of novel treatments using biomaterials-based stem cell therapies for retinal regeneration. Finding new type of delivery vehicle has allowed him to proof the protection of injected cells and their engraftment enhancement.
